Context: You can change the contact property that is assigned to a general contact interaction in any step to which the original interaction definition is propagated. In Abaqus/Standard only the frictional behavior is allowed to change between the original contact property definition and the new contact property definition (see Specifying frictional behavior for mechanical contact property options)—Abaqus uses the original friction definition from the creation of the general contact interaction until the step in which the new property is assigned; the new friction definition is used for subsequent steps.
