Contact Iterations
Limitations:
can be used only with the static solution procedure;
require the use of the direct sparse solver;
cannot be used with coupled analyses with the separated solution
technique;
cannot be used with sparse format matrix input and assemblage; and
the following features cannot use contact iterations:
contact with friction
points that are permitted to violate contact conditions
points that are released from contact by overconstraint checks
debond contact
Four additional iterations are required; the first two are SDIs (involve
contact incompatibilities).
In the final iteration both the contact and equilibrium checks pass and
the increment converges.
