- create a contact constraint
- try to enter e.g. a contact stiffness of 500 MPa, so for example try to type in "500e6"
result: you cannot enter numbers in the form "xxey" or "xxe+y" or "xxGPa"
It would be nice if one sees for the constraint values the unit to avoid mistakes and it would be nice if inputs using exponents would be allowed.
In the constraint Pressure acting on a face this is already implemented nicely. So it would be nice if this is also taken for the contact constraint.
no proper input for contact stiffness

Re: no proper input for contact stiffness
I fully agree with you Uwe. The TaskPanels of the constraint objects for sure need some love. Feel free to open a bug report in this regard.
Re: no proper input for contact stiffness
It is related to contact stiffness unit in FEM workbench ( FreeCAD 0.19 - 22611). As per Calculix manual it should be Force]/[Length] ^3.
In FEM workbench, it shows MPa. It should be updated to avoid confusion.
Thanks.

Re: no proper input for contact stiffness
Yes, and after meshing the surface, for each element, it must be calculated individually according to area of each element with Force / Length.
