Hey ABAQUS users every time I run the model, the model shows

"THE SECONDARY SURFACES ASSEMBLY_CP-1-SOIL-1 AND ASSEMBLY_CP-2-SOIL-1 INTERSECT EACH OTHER. THEY ARE PAIRED WITH MAIN SURFACES ASSEMBLY_CP-1-PILE-1 AND ASSEMBLY_CP-2-PILE-1 THAT ALSO INTERSECT EACH OTHER. IF BOTH PAIRS ARE *CONTACT PAIRs, THESE TWO PAIRS SHOULD NOT BE SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESENT IN A STEP BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE CONVERGENCE PROBLEMS; USE *MODEL CHANGE,TYPE=CONTACT PAIR TO REMOVE ONE OF THEM. IF BOTH ARE *TIE PAIRS, THE REDUNDANT TIES WILL BE REMOVED AUTOMATICALLY. IF ONE PAIR IS *TIE AND ANOTHER IS *CONTACT PAIR, REMOVE ONE OF THEM."

Here the pile-soil side interaction given with penalty, and the bottom pile and soil given with friction-less property; and both are assigned at initial step.
