| Automatic |
If the default surface-to-surface bonding contact slows down the solution considerably, the solver switches to node-to-surface bonding automatically. The automatic option is available for static, frequency, buckling, and linear dynamic studies. |
| Simplified |
When this option is checked, the program overrides the default surface-based bonding contact and resumes to node-based bonding contact. Check this option only in cases you run into performance issues when solving models with extensive contact surfaces. The default option of surface-based contact formulation results in longer solution time than the node-based contact formulation. Bonding is most accurate when the mesh is compatible.

| More accurate (slower) |
The program applies the default surface-based bonding contact, which results in longer solution time than the node-based contact formulation. |
