<li>Select the master face.</li>
<li>Select the slave face.</li>

<li>Enter a friction coefficient.</li></ol>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Limitations">Limitations</span></h2>
<ol><li>The contact constraint can only be applied to two faces.</li></ol>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Notes">Notes</span></h2>
<ol><li>The contact stiffness should be 10 times the young's modulus of the material for hard contact. The higher the value for contact stiffness, the harder the contact between surfaces.</li>
<li>The slave face is the face which penetrates into the master face, and therefore experiences more deformation.</li>
<li>The *CONTACT PAIR card is used for modeling contact in CalculiX. The constraint uses Face-to-Face penalty contact and the contact formulation is explained in detail at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node112.html">http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node112.html</a></li></ol>
