  Hi, I am having trouble with my contacts not being recognized as closed while I am doing a rigid body dynamics analysis. The contact tool is greyed out though and I cant insert a contact tool to change or help with this problem. Does contact tool work in rigid body dynamics analysis? How do I insert it if it does? Thanks

  Contact tool is not supported in Rigid Dynamics analysis. Contact Tool can be used in a transient structural analysis where you can change the behavior of the bodies to rigid.
