Parameters
----------
name
A String specifying the contact initialization repository key.
overclosureType
A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of overclosure to be defined. Possible values are
ADJUST, INTERFERENCE, and CLEARANCE. The default value is ADJUST.
interferenceDistance
None or a Float specifying the interference distance. This argument is valid only when
*overclosureType*=INTERFERENCE. The default value is None.
clearanceDistance
None or a Float specifying the initial clearance distance. This argument is valid only
when *overclosureType*=CLEARANCE and must be specified in that case. The default value
is None.
openingTolerance
None or a Float specifying the distance tolerance within which initial openings will
undergo strain-free adjustments. This argument is not valid when
*overclosureType*=INTERFERENCE unless a value has been specified for
*interferenceDistance*. The default value is None.
overclosureTolerance
None or a Float specifying the distance tolerance within which initial overclosures will
undergo strain-free adjustments. The default value is None.
adjustNodalCoords
A Boolean specifying whether to resolve clearances/overclosures by adjusting the nodal
coordinates without creating strain in the model. *adjustNodalCoords*=True can be used
only for clearances/overclosures defined in the first step of an analysis. The default
value is True.
secondaryNodesetName
A String specifying the name of the node set containing the secondary nodes to be
included in the initial clearance specification. This argument is not valid when
*overclosureType*=INTERFERENCE and if *openingTolerance* or *overclosureTolerance* is
specified. The default value is None.
stepFraction
A Float specifying the fraction of the step time (between 0.0 and 1.0) in which the
interference fit has to be solved. The default value is 1.0. This argument is valid only
when *overclosureType*=INTERFERENCE.
Returns
-------
An ExpInitialization object.
Raises
------
RangeError
