AugmentedLagrangeMethod

Fields

• penalty_coefficient: Float, default = 0.0

• max_penetration_tolerance: Float, default = 1e-1

  This is a relative tolerance to check that the maximum penetration of a follower point does not exceed 10% of the guide segment size

• penalty_coefficient_type: PenaltyCoefficientType, default = Relative

• max_num_iterations: Integer, default = 4

  This specifies the maximum number of allowed augmented lagrange iterations to reduce the penetration of a set of follower points

  If this number is exceeded and the newton solver converged for all 4 augmented lagrange iterations, then the load step is considered to converge even if the maximum gap of a follower point doesn't satisfy the max_penetration_tolerance used
