Hi,

'segiter' is the 'number of the iteration in the segregated solver'. It is used for relaxing the penalty factor during the first iterations when large overclosures may occur.

From version 4.3b, the corresponding expression instead contains the variable niterCMP which is more general. It is the 'number of the nonlinear iteration', which is defined also for a fully coupled solver.

Regards,
Henrik

It is the iteration counter. 1 in the first iteration, 2 in the second etc.
