Hi all. In my project I want to use automatic intersection/penetration correction tool to save some time. But sometimes the tool move nodes by a larger amount than what I need. 

Is there any way I may control the amount of node movement given by the automatic correction tool? Is there any TCL command for that? What other things I may customise in the automatic intersection/penetration correction tool and how?

Thanks and regards,

Rachit.

    Do you work with 2D or 3D mesh? Share us your model?

    The model has only mid-surfaces. So there are only 2D shell elements.

    Sorry, I will not not be able to share the model as I am not allowed to do so.

    Is there any way to customise automatic intersection/penetration correction tool for 2D meshes for now? 

    Regards,

    Rachit
