very high?
COEF_FROT is just augmentation coefficient
edit (I copied here a wrong setting):
CONTACT = DEFI_CONTACT(ALGO_RESO_GEOM='POINT_FIXE',
CONT_STAT_ELAS=10,
FORMULATION='CONTINUE',
FROTTEMENT='COULOMB',
MODELE=MODEL,
ZONE=_F(ALGO_CONT='PENALISATION',
ALGO_FROT='STANDARD',
COEF_FROT=1.0,
COEF_PENA_CONT=50000.0,
COULOMB=0.2,
GROUP_MA_ESCL=('A_SC', ),
GROUP_MA_MAIT=('A_MT', ),
SANS_GROUP_NO_FR=('A_SC', )))
According:
If the user does not enter the DIRE_EXCL_FROT keyword in 3D, then this amounts to excluding the 2 orthogonal directions of friction and therefore no longer resolving the friction on the eliminated nodes.
I would expect to behave as contact without friction.
