Hi,
I am performing a contact analysis using MSC Marc 2010 and Patran 2010. During the analysis, as I look the .log file I can see a large number of messages “recycling increment due to separation”. As separation results in additional iterations (which leads to higher costs), I would like to know how can I better configure the analysis parameters to avoid separation. Any idea?

Thank you!
