Common object for one-sided contact
=======================================




Item NDIMCO
------------

This object is common to all formulations of unilateral contact, so it does not exist in the case of the formulation LIAISON_UNIL.

Notes:


* The number of points only makes sense in the formulation CONTINUE (it then depends on the integration diagram). For discrete methods, it is equal to the number of slave nodes;


* The term "actually in contact" corresponds to the case where the quantities are linked to a calculation resolution (RESOLUTION =' OUI 'in DEFI_CONTACT). For example, for the nodes:


* NTNOE: total number of slave nodes;


* NTNOEC: number of slave nodes on which we will do the calculation;


* NTNOEV = NTNOE - NTNOEC: number of slave nodes on which we will only do the pairing;
