Reply To: How to Retrieve Contact Area as Elemental Values in Ansys Mechanical?

[hugo.hennion]

Hello Deepak,

Thank you so much for providing the script! I tried it, and it works well in terms of retrieving an area value for each contact element.

However, I noticed that when I sum up all the values from the script, the total doesn’t match the overall contact area shown in the Contact Area Tracker. This makes me wonder if the script is providing the area of the contact elements rather than the actual contact area per element.

Could you clarify if that’s the case, or if there’s a way to retreive to reflect the true contact area?

Thanks again for your help!
