    Hi,

     

    ADJUST: Contact ADJUST parameter allows slave nodes to precisely contact the master surface. This is useful to eliminate small gaps or penetrations during preprocessing. 

    CLEARANCE: The CLEARANCE utility allows user-specified precise initial clearance or overclosure values. See the image with zero clearance and with positive clearance. WIth zero, contact becomes active immediately but with 0.7 contacts become active when the relative displacement between slave and master becomes 0.7
