hi everyone i have some questions about my model in abaqus/CAE standard 6.11
1- how can i define point section to assign mass to it and finally assign it to a rigid body RP. because there is no such this thing in module property---> create section--->other
2- should i assign a rigid body constraint to a rigid plate in interaction module? because it is already rigid.
3- in which step should i apply contact between tow parts?( they are in contact from the beginning till the end of cyclic loading)
i mean in initial or loading step?
4- should i apply contact between tow parts that may be in contact during loading step? and are not initially in contact.

thank you very much in advance
