Modeling surface contact in Scenario

Does anyone know the correct procedure for handling surface contact between two solids in Scenario?

I've tried creating simple models with connecting meshes using the "Surface Contact" function, and cn_mesh(1), etc. are created, but the model won't run. Model check finds no errors.

The type of model I'm talking about is a simple plate with a hole and a bolt through the hole. Pull on the bolt, constrain the plate, and analyze the interaction.

I suspect that I have a constraint problem, but am unsure how to proceed.

Any suggestions?
