We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Here I included only sliding and sticking element, 
ESEL,S,ETAB,ELSTAT,2,3             !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             !selects element in contact.

Thanks,
Deepak
