!CONTACT_PARAM¶

Specify contact scan parameter set.

Parameter¶

Parameter Name	Attribution	Contents
NAME	C	Contact scan parameter set name (required)

** 2nd line **

Specify clearance values in in-surface directions.

(2nd line) CLEARANCE, CLR_SAME_ELEM, CLR_DIFFLPOS, CLR_CAL_NORM

Parameter Name	Attribution	Contents
CLEARANCE	R	ordinary clearance (Default: 1e-2)
CLR_SAME_ELEM	R	clearance for already-in-contact elems (loosen to avoid moving too easily) (Default: 5e-3)
CLR_DIFFLPOS	R	clearance to be recognized as different position (loosen to avoid oscillation) (Default: 1e-2)
CLR_CAL_NORM	R	clearance used when calculating surface normal (Default: 1e-4)

** 3rd line **

Specify clearance values in directions vertical to the surface.

(3rd line) DISTCLR_INIT, DISTCLR_FREE, DISTCLR_NOCHECK, TENSILE_FORCE, BOX_EXP_RATE

Parameter Name	Attribution	Contents
DISTCLR_INIT	R	dist clearance for initial scan (Default: 1e-2)
DISTCLR_FREE	R	dist clearance for free nodes (wait until little penetration to be judged as contact) (Default: -1e-6)
DISTCLR_NOCHECK	R	dist clearance for skipping distance check for nodes already in contact (big value to keep contact because contact-to-free is judged by tensile force) (Default: 1.0)
TENSILE_FORCE	R	tensile force to be judged as free node (Default: -1e-2)
BOX_EXP_RATE	R	expansion rate of the box used for contact scan (the smaller the faster, the bigger the safer) (Default: 1.05)
