Importing I-DEAS-Files with Contact Sets

[JulesVerne77]

I created a model in I-DEAS Preprocessor... the model consists of several parts with a gap between.. I defined contacts sets between the surfaces of these parts and spring elements to remove singuralities..

now my question, when I import this file in ABAQUS, does ABAQUS identify this contact sets and spring elements or do I have to define it completely new in ABAQUS?

I would be glad if anyone could help me.. thx
