  Hello,
  
  I am trying to add a force and moment reaction probe result in ansys Mechanical for contact region but it shows ? in the tree
  
  whether for boundary condition fixed support its ok and solve but when i choose contact region its not working showing ? mark in tree
  
  following the same method as explain
  
  https://www.padtinc.com/blog/using-probes-to-obtain-contact-forces-in-ansys-mechanical/
  
  but its not working for my case whats the possible reason and how i obtain moment and force reaction for contact region ?? please
  
  Thank you!

  Did you turn on Contact Miscellaneous under the Output Controls of the Analysis Settings?
  
  Contact Miscellaneous. Turn On if Contact Based Force Reactions are desired. The default value is No. Available for Static and Transient Structural analysis types. Not Available when linked to a Modal analysis.

  I had to turn on nodal forces and contact miscellaneous to get the force and moment reactions n
