  • Add new unit StiffnessDensity ($\text{Force/Lenght}^3 \equiv \text{Pressure/Lenght}$) and the corresponding App::PropertyStiffnessDensity, basically a spring stiffness per unit area needed to use in contact stiffness and the stick slope value used by the *FRICTION keyword. (currrently it is said that the unit should be Pressure like the elastic modulus, but this is incorrect).
  • Add support for ADJUST parameter on the CONTACT PAIR card for contact constraint.
  • Add support for specifying stick slope value in *FRICTION keyword.
  • Add support for ADJUST parameter in tie constraint.
  • Use quantity spin box in both constraint task dialogs.

@FEA-eng Do you want to test this?
