Hello everyone!

Is there a way to output the default penalty stiffness of hard contact in Abaqus? I've tried with PREPRINT, CONTACT=YES and PRINT, CONTACT=YES but it shows everything except for this. It even writes the stiffness if it's non-default but not when the default value is used. I made a simple model consisting of 2 cubes and calculated the contact stiffness as CFN/(COPEN*CAREA) and the result agrees with the non-default penalty stiffness when I specify it but it's nowhere near 10 times the representative underlying element stiffness (according to the documentation) when the default stiffness value is used.
