Hello,

Im experiencing the problem with a Contact Pair vs Gasket. I have modeled the gasket with GK3D8 elements, with a GASKETSECTION property and GASKET_MATERIAL setup. The gasket is TIED on one side and has a CONTACT PAIR with another component which is supposed to move ans start pressing the gasket.

The problem is that the CONTACT PAIR does not work and the moving component without any problem intersects into the Gasket.

CONTACT pair is setup correctly because when I switch gasket elements to C3D8 and assign some soft linear material, then it works.

My question is - is there somethin specific about GK3D8 elements or GASKET material which may cause that solver "ignores" the contact which otherwise works?

Thank you very much for every suggestion.
