- create a contact constraint
- try to enter e.g. a contact stiffness of 500 MPa, so for example try to type in "500e6"

result: you cannot enter numbers in the form "xxey" or "xxe+y" or "xxGPa"

It would be nice if one sees for the constraint values the unit to avoid mistakes and it would be nice if inputs using exponents would be allowed.

In the constraint Pressure acting on a face this is already implemented nicely. So it would be nice if this is also taken for the contact constraint.

I fully agree with you Uwe. The TaskPanels of the constraint objects for sure need some love. Feel free to open a bug report in this regard.
