Why is MPC Contact affecting the load vector applied with LVSCALE in ANSYS 11.0? The model has MPC bonded contact and it is not set to ignore gaps/penetration.


When MPC contact generates constraint equations, they can include constant terms. These terms wind up on the right hand side of the system equation, so they get scaled by LVSCALE. Defect 59983 requests that the LVSCALE documentation be enhanced to warn users of this phenomenon.
