      Currently when we use reinforcement contact which b.t.w. is a new feature in 2019R1. We insert a keycard *CONSTRAINED_LAGRANGE_IN_SOLID. This is intentional and by design. Ideally, one might want to use *CONSTRAINED_BEAM_IN_SOLID, however note that this constrain is a specialization of *CONSTRAINED_LAGRANGE_IN_SOLID. So, once would have to resort to command snippets if they prefer to use *CONSTRAINED_BEAM_IN_SOLID.
