Hello Aniket,
I can't get wear results. Only results I get are contact pressure and sliding displacement.


Those pictures are my code and the geometry for wear. This is a ball and socket joint. No translation but every rotation is free. If there is something wrong with my code or you have any suggestions, please shoot it!
Thanks Kayra Bolcal

wear is direct nmisc output for contact elements, and can be output like this: contnmisc172 for wearX, contnmisc176 for WearY and contnmisc180 for wearZ as user expression in the user-defined results in mechanical post tree.
By default these results are not stored, you need to store them by selecting yes for storing contact misc result items.
