Hello Team,
I am trying to run the non-linear analysis for assembly with contacts. After running every time, it gives below error, can you please advise, what can be possible solution to this?
Below are some snapshots to show the model i have setup:

Checking the model before creating elements...
These checks take into account the fact that AutoGEM will
automatically create elements in volumes with material
properties, on surfaces with shell properties, and on curves
with beam section properties.
Generate elements automatically.
Checking the model after creating elements...
No errors were found in the model.

** Warning: Two faces (DBIDs: 1801804 & 1801860) on opposite
surfaces in a contact (DBID: 1194308) are
connected at a node (DBID: 1313858). This prevents
the surfaces from moving completely apart during
a contact analysis. If this is not what you
intended, please edit your model appropriately.

o The model may have a buckling mode with a load factor
smaller than this value. You may determine the smallest
(linear) buckling load factor by running a buckling
analysis.
o The deformations may be large enough that you must
further refine the mesh. To locate potential problem
areas, it may help to run an analysis with reduced
loads and examine the deformed shape of the model.
o The model may have a static instability.
o It is possible that the load is too large for the model's
material or the model is insufficiently constrained. Check
the constraints and material properties, or reduce the maximum load.
