Hello,

I am performing a Static Structural loading test but I am unable to enable self contact so that the body elements will not pass through each other.

I've checked the tutorials and found the 'self contact: yes/no' option is only present in Explicit Dynamics analyses involving 2 or more bodies. I have only one body.

Is anyone able to point me to the option to turn self contact on?

Thanks
