Dears GiD users,
How can I do to crate a 2D Contact Problem using the GiD? I want to write a
primary code (at this moment) to solve a Signorini’s problem. I want to
create a simple model with a 4-node square deformable element in contact to
a 2-node line target element using the gid and after export it as a ASCII
project (Mesh and Geometry) to a owner solver.
Sincerely

How’s the contact for you case: it’s necessary a one-to-one relationship between your master and slave nodes?
Then you can create a “contact surface” to link the master and slave lines and force this one-to-one nodes (and create auxliary elements linking them)
If your contact doesn’t require to be node-to-node then it’s probably better to define and apply some condition to mark entities as master/slave
Instead to export an ASCII proyect and try to read it with your program, it’s better that you create your own problemtype that directly write what you want.
Read GiD help about customization
