Klaus Thoeni proposed the following answer:
Hi Alex,

you are right. The interactionDetectionFactor is used to initialise the
remote interactions for the WireMat. Nevertheless, it is a general
option of the Ig2 functor and is independent of the material since it
just enlarges the bounding box for the interaction detection. Note that
you have to set the aabbEnlargeFactor for the bounding box as well (see
[1] or WireMat examples). You can use it to initialise interactions as
done for the WireMat or to define distant interactions, i.e. particle
which are not in contact but in within the specified range will
interact. In the first case you have to reset the
interactionDetectionFactor after the links have been created.

linkThresholdIteration is material specific and in case of the WireMat
it defines a threshold until when links can be created. I don't think it
is implemented for any other material. For the WireMat, this means that
interactions can only be created by default in the first iteration.

HTH
