Hi All,

In my calculation , Friction(mu) value for the +y support is given as 0.3(steel to steel). But It is not converging . I gone through same topics posted in the forum, it says that one way is to reduce(alter)the friction stiffness in the config/stress computation control.
I followed the same way, it works out.My clarification is , if we do like ( i.e reducing the friction stiffness)

1. whether all client will accept this procedure?
2. I understand that there is slight change in result(I hope that it has an impact only in restrain summary). Hence I am not very sure whether this changes will be more if it is a big calculation
3.The stiffness given in the ceasar database is derived from where?this is for just to get the info only. I would like to know that where to use which stiffness?

I searched the forum list, but I could not find any such related answer for my queries.

Experts can guide me!!!!!!!

Regards
