Dear,
I would like to use contact pairs in a transient model. In the COMSOL manual I read that you cannot use contact pairs together with the transient solver. An alternative is to use the parametric solver with the time t as the parameter to solve the contact problem. However, I don't know how to set the solver settings in order to do this. I suppose you have to use the previous solution as ininital value for the calculation of the next time step, but I dont know how to do this in the Solver Manager. Also, what initial value has to be used for the calculation of the first time step (t=0)?
Thx,
Steven
