Currently the software (almost always) only calculates time 0 and time 1 when keeping the setting 'automatic time steps', while it is most often needed to have between 5 and 21 time steps for an accurate result.

It would help the 'unexperienced' user when the time steps would indeed be automatically chosen based on the study definition; initial space between contact surfaces; small initial time step and when calculating finate friction; 21 time steps etc.
