    Hi Mayur,

     

    Vicinity tolerance:  Based on this value, Auto contact searches throughout all selected components and creates a new contact. 

     

    Stick: Components come in contact and sticks with each other.

     

    Freeze:  Relative displacement is zero throughout the event. So if the gap between two components is 1 and with freeze contact and after analysis, the gap remains same.
