Bonded Initial Contact, Key Option 12 = 6

Bonded initial contact detects initial contact before loads are applied and treats these portions of the contact surfaces as bonded. Portions of the contact surfaces that are not initially in contact will never be treated as in contact. Sliding is not permitted on the portions of the contact surfaces in contact. Note that this is essentially linear contact.

Note that the friction stresses for the bonded initial contact model are high. The maximum value is 419,605.
