Frictional rolling contact model CONTACT version 13.1 released

Dear all,

Herewith I want to announce the release of the frictional rolling contact model CONTACT version 13.1.

The main changes with respect to earlier versions of the program are as follows:

• Added support for dealing with conformal contact situations, going beyond the traditional half-space approach.
• Extended the model with an interfacial layer of contaminants, changing the friction behavior in the contact patch.

For the full release-notes or more information on the program refer to the website www.kalkersoftware.org.

Regards, Edwin
