Hi Bolaji,<\/p>\n

Contact forces can be determined under both \/POST1, the general post processor and \/POST26, time-history post processor.<\/p>\n

CNCHECK<\/a> command will give you the information about the existing contact\/target pairs. You need to know the REAL and TYPE attributes of the contact\/target elements.<\/p>\n

You can use LSWRITE<\/a> command to store data for each load step. You can check below forum discussions for more information on scripting for different load steps.<\/p>\n
