Within Apex, Edit Contacts Utility appears not to be working?

Referring to the attached photo of my .bdf, it looks like the 2 contacts (denoted with XXXXX_T) don't have an associated BCBDPRP along with a friction coefficient. I made these independent ties, then followed the video guide on using the Edit Contact utility to switch them to touching and input a friction. I know it does something since it renames the ties with _G or _T, but looking through the .bdf it looks like they are all still glued. Am I misunderstanding the .bdf?
 
Thanks!

  • Weird. Try the following:
     
    1. Close Apex
    2. Delete your Custom Tools 2021.1 folder
    3. Recreate it using the new zip file
    4. Open Apex and in the Custom Tools options hit the Re-scan button
    5. Also make sure that the location it's pointing to for the utilities is correct

    See if that works...
     
    If not then the fix for the immediate problem would be comment out line 383 in the file it's complaining about - put a # in front of it so it becomes:
    #apexEngineeringAbstractions = False,
