Q. When user tries to create a 3D rigid-flex, node-surface contact pair between a beam188/9 tip and a 3D surface area, the wizard creates a 2D node-to-surface instead, meshing only the lines attached to the area designated as the rigid target. This only occurs with beam elements. What is the problem?

A. This is a confirmed defect in contact wizard programming (ONYX Defect #52298). Since no more development and error corrections are pursued in ANSYS Classic contact manager, the defect has been dispositioned as not worth fixing and closed. The workaround is to create the node-to-surface contact pair thru APDL commands.
