Q. How do we get "Contact Tool" => "Initial Information" to solve in Simulation when hyperelastic material is present?

A. When hyperelastic material is defined in the model, the solution will only work when large deflection is activated. Unfortunately, turning this on in the "Analysis Settings" folder is not going to work for the partial solve being done in the Connections Branch.

You have to add a command object before the Connections Folder with the following command script included:

/SOLU
NLGEOM,ON
/PREP7
