Hi,
I am doing an Eulerian Analysis which has a general contact interaction between a rigid shell wall and deformable elastic material. Sometimes, when I run the data check, status file shows the following message:

Initial CEL contact overclosures were found and will be stored as offsets. To help identify the (Lagrangian) contact faces involved in the overclosures element set InfoElemInitPenetCEL has been created.

I am not sure whether ABAQUS has resolved this overclosure problem or it's still unresolved. Anyway, I am not getting the expected stress profile, so I think it might be unresolved.

Someone already had this problem here thread799-113875. Please, let me know how can I get rid of this problem.

Thank You.
