Why does Contact stiffness (Normal and/or Tangential) reported in Contact Tool not match what is reported in Results Tracker?

      Assuming the contact tool is under the Model branch, it would be an initial value. The tracker should be after first iteration. With NLGEOM, off, we are probably solving in one iteration (NEQIT,1). With NLGEOM,on, it is probably multiple iterations. Do they match if you turn off stiffness updating scheme?
