More specifically, I would like to know more about the &#8220;Augmented Lagrange&#8221; option for the Formulation, which is in the Advanced tab and the &#8220;Adjust to touch&#8221; option for the Interface Treatment, which is in the Geometric Modification tab. I will provide a screenshot showing their location. I am doing analysis on 2 spur gears and I have found similar videos and they have chosen those options instead of leaving them as program controlled. That&#8217;s why I would like to know what is the difference and what they change on the solution.<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm x14ctfv\" dir=\"auto\"><a class=\"wp-colorbox-image cboxElement\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/29-11-2023-1701279429-Screenshot 2023-11-29 192507.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/29-11-2023-1701279429-Screenshot 2023-11-29 192507.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j\"><span class=\"x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm x14ctfv\" dir=\"auto\">Thank you in advance for your help!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-320114","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-connections","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-theory"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["286158","13386","13927"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.146"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["709"],"_edit_lock":["1701279479:219649"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["320114"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["13386","13927","286158"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["320213"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["320213"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-11-30 09:42:26"]},"test":"nmakarogloutuc-gr"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/320114","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\/320114\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
