1) Is MPC to be only used between 2d (Shell/beam) to 3d(solid) contact ?

2) While using MPC, if there is a gap between 2d and 3d bodies, should pinball radius be adjusted accordingly? Or MPC will do the needful and pinball would be kept at program controlled.

3) Pinball radius should just be equal to gap? suppose for 1 mm gap, its ok to give to 1 mm as radius ? (even this will show as Orange coloured in contact tool).

If possible, please share suggestions pointwise.

Thanks in advance
