OS-E: 0165 Contact Smoothing With Two Concentric Rings
Contact smoothing is useful to increase accuracy of the contact solution. An enforced displacement to push two concentric rings toward each other to engage the contact is used. The usage of NLOUT entry allows you to study the progression of SPC force over successive increments.
