      Yes, it is possible to get the contact force and moment passed through a Bonded Contact Pair in Static or Modal Analysis.
      1) Insert “Solution > Probes > Force or Moment Reactions”
      2) Change the “Location Method = Contact Region”
      3) Choose the appropriate Contact Pair and Evaluate the Results.
      For this, Nodal Forces must be requested in the Output Under “Analysis Settings” before solving the model.
