Here I included only sliding and sticking element,
ESEL,S,ETAB,ELSTAT,2,3 Â Â Â Â Â Â !selects element in contact (stat=2 sliding,stat=3 sticking)
To include all types of contact elements (far,near,sliding,sticking), you can change the ESEL to:
ESEL,S,ETAB,ELSTAT,0,3 Â Â Â Â Â Â !selects element in contact.
Thanks,
