The contact with the parison condition is available only for elastic postprocessor sub-tasks that relate to a contact problem. For example, the postprocessor can be used to compute the deformation of the mold and elastic stresses generated during a blow molding process.

This condition applies the force produced by the contact, as the boundary condition for the elastic sub-task. After detecting the contact, the force produced by the contact is applied to the part of the mold that is in contact with the parison, while a zero-force is applied to the remaining surface contact of the mold.

To define this condition on a boundary section, you will need to select Contact with a parison from the list of the boundary conditions. Further inputs are not required.
