I tried it, and it works well in terms of retrieving an area value for each contact element.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, I noticed that when I sum up all the values from the script, the total doesn&rsquo;t match the overall contact area shown in the Contact Area Tracker. This makes me wonder if the script is providing the <strong>area of the contact elements<\/strong> rather than the actual contact area per element.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Could you clarify if that&rsquo;s the case, or if there&rsquo;s a way to retreive to reflect the true contact area?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks again for your help!&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-392244","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/392244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/392244\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
