Used to stabilize surface contact in nonlinear static solutions. When set to a value greater than zero, will add a normal and in-plane stabilization stiffness between contact surfaces. The default zero value disables this feature. A value of 1.0 will add a stiffness approximately equal to the closed gap stiffness value. The stabilization stiffness is decreased with each full increment in each subcase using:
