Dear all

I have tried the following rigid contact option for an arbitrary 2D surface 
obstacle and a 3D mesh  in python scripting
It looks quite successful
However it takes a lot of time for me to finish a viscoelastic computation (28h)
How can I speed it up? By reducing the number of Newton iteration for example?
I can read in the documentation that there are three other options
How to they compare in terms of speed and accuracy?
How do they compare to a nonlinear stiffness penalty method between the rigid 
contact surface considered as master and the 3D solid mesh considered as slave 
nodes sets?

Thank you
Regards
Anne-Cecile
