I want to know the default values used by the solver for each of these, and for each of the contact.<\/p>\n<p>I am asking this because sometimes, my solution is unable to converge at the contact region and I want to play with the Penetration Convergence Tolerance and Normal Stiffness values in order to make it converge. However, if I randomly input a very high or very low value, then the solution results might not be accurate at all.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, does the penetration convergence tolerance also needs to be met for the solution to converge at the contact region even if I am using a linear contact?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-160249","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-contacts"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_old_reply_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_reply_anonymous_id":["false"],"_btv_view_count":["4097","4097"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["254588"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["160249"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["174388","180472"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["8"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["184975"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["184975"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-07-15 14:25:31"]},"test":"rameez_ul_haq"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160249\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
