I've got a model with contacts that is being run with several thousand cases in a Monte Carlo through the external solver. It runs statics and then dynamics. 99% of the cases run fine but a handful of them fail to obtain a static solution. The easiest way to resolve these failures is to change the contact faceting tolerance slightly (300 to 310 or something) and rerun. Is there a way to automate this behavior within an Adams solver script?
This is the behavior I want:
1) run sim/static
2) if failed, change faceting tolerance or some other setting and rerun sim/static
3) otherwise just continue to the dynamic solution
Mike, try increase the STABILITY parameter from 1e-5 to 1e-4. That can solve a lot of stability problems in the static solver. It will converge slower, but more monotonously.
