No Contact
Use the No Contact node to define boundaries with not contact contribution. Excluding boundaries can be useful to reduce the computational cost if it can be determined before solving the model that some parts are unlikely to take part in contact problem.
The selection of the No Contact node is exclusive with Contact Model node.
The selected boundaries remain part of the source boundaries as defined by the general contact pair. A contact search from another boundary can thus still identify them as a valid contact mapping.
