Contact

What is the difference between *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_ SINGLE_SURFACE and *CONTACT_AUTOMATIC_GENERAL ?

What is the IGNORE flag good for?

How can I handle contact between beams and shells?

I wanted to know that can we have contact between Beam Elements and Shell elements and what Card is to be used. I have tried all "CONTACT_AUTOMATIC" cards but was not able to get the contact. The part with Beam elements passes through the wall of Shell elements
