Abstract：The contact problem is one of the key mechanical problems in the discontinuous medium such as rock. Based on the physical meaning of 3D contact problem，the equivalent complementary models were established in normal and tangential directions，respectively. A new approximating smooth function was proposed for the nonlinear property of the complementary model. The approximating function is equivalent to the complementary model when the parameter tends to 0+. Since the approximation function is C1 continuous，the corresponding Jacobian matrix is nonsingular under any condition which enables the successful solution for the conventional Newton algorithm. By introducing the direction vector，the constraint function method proposed in 2D frictional contact problems was extended to 3D ones. Hence the stability problem caused by the periodicity of the direction angle in 3D contact problems was resolved. Then，the 3D point-surface contact for finite element model was established. At last，the validity of the proposed method was verified with several classical cases.
