structure link tolerance-contact command

Syntax

structure link tolerance-contact f

Set the tolerance used when establishing node-to-zone links. A node is considered to be in a zone if it is within a distance d of the zone boundary, where δ equals f times zone size (taken as the maximum x-, y-, or z-dimension of the zone bounding box). Nodes that are used by elements with their sliding flag on will utilize structure link tolerance-slide instead of f when attempting to update the zone interpolation point of an existing link. By default, f equals 1 × 10-5.
