Question for the Analysis gurus:
If I run an analysis with contact enabled, is it possible for it to converge if none of the contacts are actually required for equilibrium?
For the sake of illustration, let's say that I'm modelling a spring device with an 'end stop' controlled by a contact; but in fact the load applied to the spring doesn't (shouldn't) cause it to deflect far enough to make contact with the end stop.
Will this converge happily, or does the convergence depend on at least one contact being 'engaged' - will Mechanica try to somehow create a contact condition even though the load doesn't require it?
