    NLPARM=  Non-linear parameters used to define parameters for non-linear analysis

    NLOUT= Incremental result output for Non linear analysis

    NLMON refer this link:

    PARAM= Parameters for the analysis

    GLobal_output_Request= Used for requesting results (like stress, strain, etc...) and other response parameters

    Bulk_Unsupported_cards= If there are any unsupported cards (bulk) which are not available through GUI can be written to solver using this.

    Hello

    STFEXP stands for exponential penalty for contact stiffness and can be used to maintain the continuity of open and closed nature of contact stiffness.
