SLINEOFFSETTOL

Description Type Default

Specifies the tolerance for automatically converting surface weld elements to offset weld elements. Welded contact with an initial separation less than SLINEOFFSETTOL will be converted to offset welded contact. The default AUTO setting is based on the model reference dimension multiplied by 1.0E-03. Note that specified values are actual distances and are not normalized. For some models (i.e., very large, very small, or with large gaps) the default SLINEOFFSETTOL value may not be well suited, therefore it is recommended the analyst define this explicitly. Note that for Automated Surface Contact Generation (ASCG) when a CONTACTGENERATE Case Control command is specified with the MAXAD field, SLINEOFFSETTOL will be set to MAXAD.
