Specifies the initial penalty values used in slide line and surface contact analysis. Initial penalty values are calculated using:
where k is a value selected for each secondary node, based on the diagonal stiffness matrix coefficients, and SFACT is specified in the SFACT field of the BCONP and BSCONP Bulk Data entries. The SLINEKSFACT value applies to all contact regions in the model. The AUTO setting will automatically adjust model penalty values when convergence problems occur. |
