With this option the friction behavior of a surface interaction can be defined. The friction behavior is optional for contact analyses. There are no parameters.
The frictional behavior defines the relationship between the shear stress in
the contact area and the relative displacement between the slave and the
master surface. It is characterized by a linear range with tangent for small relative
displacements (stick) followed by a horizontal upper bound (slip) given by
, where

0.1 and 0.3,
has the dimension of force per volume and should be
chosen to be about 100 times smaller than the spring constant.

defines a friction coefficient of 0.2 and a stick range slope of 5000 (assuming a static or dynamic procedure, but no modal dynamics).
