When the contact type property is set to frictionless, rough, or frictionional (nonlinear contact), this setting becomes visible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&#8221;guimenuitem&#8221;&gt;<strong>Adjust to Touch<\/strong>&lt;\/span&gt;: An initial stress-free condition is created by closing off any gaps and ignoring any initial penetration.To ensure that initial contact happens even in the presence of gaps, this option is helpful. If there are any initial gaps, the bodies can fly apart if you don&#8217;t use this parameter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Follow the attached link for more details.&lt;br&gt;https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/account\/secured?returnurl=\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v232\/en\/wb_sim\/ds_geometric_correction.html&lt;br&gt;Regards,&lt;br&gt;Sampat&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-320153","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hi Nick,Augmented Lagrange formulas can be applied to nonlinear solid body contact of faces.
