This is a tuning factor to adjust CAESAR II results to observed field behavior. The problem with this is that there are multiple equilibrium solutions once you include friction in a model. Convergence (and therefore results) vary based on the order of restraint convergence, which can vary by load case.
While this option makes numerical sense, it is difficult to use, hence our recommendation to NOT adjust this. (Actually we should remove this from the interface.)
