Kinematic contact doesn't work with variable scaling #11601
Labels
C: Framework
P: normal
A defect affecting operation with a low possibility of significantly affects.
T: task
An enhancement to the software.
Rationale
Kinematic contact determines the contact force by looking at the displacement residuals (e.g. the sum of the forces). If these are scaled through the variable
scaling
parameter, then the computed contact force will be wrong.Description
This leads to surfaces blowing through each other, e.g. we do not correctly resolve contact:
Moreover, the reported contact pressure is incorrectly scaled as well.
Impact
Folks using a kinematic formulation and variable scaling are getting wrong results.
