Interference Contact with Abaqus explicit

[FEA_User]

Hello all,

I am trying to model a contact (shaft/bearing) with initial fit (interference) with Abaqus Explicit but it seems not available in Abaqus explicit
is there any other solution ??

Interference fit has been available for general contact in Abaqus/Explicit since the 2020 GA version (or actually since the 2019 version but it was added to GUI in the 2020 release).
