9.2 Enhancement to surface-based cohesive behavior usage

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Benefits: General contact surfaces using surface-based cohesive behavior and offset from each other can undergo rotation during a simulation if neither surface has rotational degrees of freedom active.

Description: General contact surfaces using surface-based cohesive behavior and offset from each other would exhibit nonphysical deformation in previous versions of Abaqus/Explicit if surfaces that are offset from each other undergo rotation during a simulation and neither surface has rotational degrees of freedom active. This behavior has been corrected.
