Hi, 

I can see in the image that your output steps are 400; this will take more time for the simulation. If you want to speed up, you can reduce it; you may make it 100. Another thing, if you have a convergence issue due to contacts, then you may try reducing the stiffness values; this will ease convergence and make the simulation faster.
