    Good morning.
    Thank you for your suggestions. I've tried the setup of an analysis with the change in the BCONPRG parameter and it is working.
    If in Apex you just rename the glue contact and then you look for the specific card BCONPRG it is possible to set the IGLUE coefficient to 0.

    +      .5     IGLUE  0

    ... it seems to work and looks like the equivalent of a patran setup.. so lets hope for the best and for a good convergence.
