tube hydro forming in nx 9.0

[mpvnaresh]

hello...

i am trying to study tube hydroforming in nx(9.0) nastran.In order to model it i need to give surface to surface contact between the dyes and the tube . but in nx nonlinear analysis , surface to surface contact is not available in simulation objects....how can i model this in nx nastran.?

Hello!,
You need to use the ADVANCED NONLINEAR solver (SOL601) in order to support surface-to-surface constact.
Best regards,
Blas.
