CNTSTB

Subcase Information Entry The CNTSTB command can be used to activate stabilization of surface-to-surface (S2S) contact and large displacement node-to-surface (N2S) contact for this subcase. It is used only for Small Displacement Nonlinear Analysis.

Set identification number of a CNTSTB Bulk Data Entry.

Comments

  1. CNTSTB Bulk Data Entry will not be used, unless selected in the Subcase Information section.
  2. If a small displacement nonlinear analysis subcase contains a CNTSTB subcase entry in conjunction with PARAM, EXPERTNL, the stabilization parameters defined by the CNTSTB Bulk Data Entry (referenced by the CNTSTB Subcase Information Entry) override the global stabilization settings of PARAM, EXPERTNL, CNTSTB for this particular subcase.
