SLINESLIDETYPE

Description Type Default

Contact penalty stiffness update method. When SLINESLIDETYPE is set to DYNAMIC, the proximity stiffness based update method is selected. When SLINESLIDETYPE is set to STATIC, the displacement based stiffness update method is selected. For either setting, the normalized SLINEMAXDISPTOL parameter defines the default TMAX value (maximum allowable penetration). See SLINEMAXDISPTOL in this section. When SLINESLIDETYPE is set to AUTO and SLINEMAXACTDIST is also set to AUTO or zero and the MAXAD field on all BSCONP Bulk Data entries are set to AUTO, blank, or zero, SLINESLIDETYPE will be set to STATIC otherwise DYNAMIC is selected.
