Node-to-segment vs. Segment to segment contact

Node-to-segment vs. Segment to segment contact

(OP)
Hi guys!

I'm working with the new version on MSC. Marc and there is a bee in my bonnet. The results that I've obtained using a node-to-segment or a segment-to-segment contact are not the same. The difference in a part of the model is around the 10%.

Why? It is normal? What option is preferable? I assume that the master and slave nodes are perfectly defined.

I hope u can help me!
