CONTACT CONTROLS, AUTOMATIC TOLERANCES

CONTACT CONTROLS, AUTOMATIC TOLERANCES

CONTACT CONTROLS, AUTOMATIC TOLERANCES

(OP)
Hello,
Can somebody explain to me how exactly does the option CONTACT CONTROLS, AUTOMATIC TOLERANCES work in a contact problem?
I'm running a contact analysis and if I don't add this option it won't converge... so can I rely on the results with the automatic tolerances parameter enabled?
Thanks

RE: CONTACT CONTROLS, AUTOMATIC TOLERANCES

It's explained in the user manual. But you have to use an old manual, since that option was removed some years ago.
