Can Large-Def/Prestressed cyclic modal analysis have contact? Only one harmonic index is being solved.


This is not supported in ANSYS 11.0 or 12.0. Defect 59036 was filed to have this documented and error-trapped in ANSYS 12.0.

It appears that one harmonic index can be solved for correctly, but something is being lost in the contact database after that. Solving one harmonic index at a time may be a workaround, but it would require copying the necessary static files to a different jobname for each solution to avoid contaminating the original static results.
