It is possible with CalculiX: [Contact convergence in metal forming simulation - #20 by hkroeger](https://calculix.discourse.group/t/contact-convergence-in-metal-forming-simulation/1357/20)

But normally you would want to use explicit dynamics for that while in CalculiX this could bring multiple issues. So give it a try but don’t be surprised if it turns out that it might be best to switch to a different software (like OpenRadioss meant specifically for explicit dynamics).
