SLINESTABOPTION

Description	Type	Default
Surface contact solution stabilization option. Specifies the type of solution stabilization to be used when a model contains slide line or surface contact elements and the nonlinear solution diverges. Options are only active for stabilization iterations defined by NITERSUPDATE. There are four options: 0 - Stabilization disabled. 1 - Contact status is frozen. 2 - Contact open gap stiffness (SLINEOPENKSFACT) is increased by 1.0E+7. 3 - Contact unload tolerance (SLINEUNLOADTOL) is increased by 1.0E+7. 4 - Options 1 - 3 are used simultaneously. See SLINEUNLOADTOL, SLINEOPENKSFACT, and NITRERSUPDATE in this section.	0 ≤ Integer ≤ 4	0
