Sorting contact pairs

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to sort (or turn off automatic sorting) of contact pairs? I have a [i]lot[/i] of contacts in a model, mixed with free conditions, and changing all the surface contact settings are a real bother if I can't just select them all at once.

Right click and open "General Surface-to-Surface Contact" Panel.  All the contact pairs are listed here.  You can select "Activate All", "Disable All" on all contact pairs.  If you want to change the settings for all contact pairs (with the same settings), you can change one pair here, and then use

"Form Pair # ->To Pair # ->Copy", where "ALL" is used for the second pair.
