More specifically, in &#8220;Advanced -&gt; Formulation&#8221; from &#8220;Program Controlled&#8221; he changed it to &#8220;Augmented Lagrange&#8221;. My question for this is what does Formulation do and the Augmented Lagrange option. Lastly, for the &#8220;Geometric Modification&#8221;, they changed the &#8220;Interface Treatment&#8221; to &#8220;Adjust to touch&#8221;. My question is the same what does Interface Treatment do and the Adjust to Touch option. The photo shows the changes the video and I made for the simulation to run the way we wanted to in order for the solution to be as close to the theoretical one in the books.<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\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/18-07-2024-1721294767-Screenshot 2024-07-18 122418.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"348\" height=\"563\"><\/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-372512","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["286158","13632"],"_bbp_author_ip":["147.27.5.18"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["166"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["372512"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["13632","286158"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["373072"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["373072"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-07-22 16:05:53"]},"test":"nmakarogloutuc-gr"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/372512","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\/372512\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
