  • Sanjay..I don't want to make a big deal re: contact status..I really thought it was going to be a simple answer. I can't believe I'm the first to see this ..I'm sure you guys have seen this before.
    .IF not , then MSC developers have a problem..I get ALL results except contact status..

    I've had numerous issues over the last month with ATA/Siemens/MSC?Hexagon in terms of new version issues, and things that used to work don't work w/a new release..it's been VERY frustrating, since
    I've spent a lot of time trying to understand something hat could be broke

    BUT, for a technical question that I hope you can answer..I'm running touching and glued contact..I get this statement as part of the sol'n sequence and I
    Can't figure out what it means, since these two elements are not close together..I queried HEXAGON but can't find anything..I wish Vinay and Zhong were still around
