I had imported a .stp model from another design tool and I removed all the contacts as per the othre design tool and remade all the contacts in Ansys (w.r.t. Bonded\/No Seperation\/Frictionless, etc.).&lt;br&gt;I have inserted the contact tool to check and I have received the below details. Now, I want to understand if the tool results are fine to proceed further or any changes needed to be made with the contacts or such.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can somebody help me on how to understand the contact tool results. There are certain red\/orange\/white grey colored rows which has a legend below, but I still do not understand it.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/18-10-2024-1729221826-mceclip0.png\" width=\"618\" height=\"236\" \/> &nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-390340","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["464855","440006"],"_bbp_author_ip":["202.189.228.14"],"_btv_view_count":["434"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["390340"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["440006","464855"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["390533"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["390533"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-10-21 03:35:09"]},"test":"rani-agegadyne-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/390340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/390340\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
