Hi,

I get this error in abaqus:

''Error in job EigthCon: For a self contact surface, the facets of the elements in element set ErrElemFacetThick3d-Step1 are thicker than the edge or diagonal lengths of the facets. Use the MAXRATIO parameter on *SURFACE to allow automatic rescaling of the contact thicknesses where necessary for this surface. Refer to the status file for further details''

Where do I set the MAX RATIO from the default value? I can't seem to find it in the .inp file and don't know where to go in Abaqus/CAE?

Thanks

Romilde
