Can you get contact area information from your .t16 simulation?

I am wondering in the way to get information about the contact area between a gear teeth.

I have information from nodes in contact, such as displacement and contact normal forces. However, I would like to know the area, to compare with analytical results.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you very much Kiran.

I am using 2019 version and unfortunately I cannot find Contact area variable.

I attach the figure with the variables availabe (moment, forces...)

Should I choose any special output so that contact area is calculated?

By the way, I didn't know about this option, si I calculated Contact Normal Force in determined nodes, is there a diference between that and the value shown by "Normal Force on first body by second body"?

I guess, the second one is an addition of all the contact normal forces of all the nodes in contact in my model, am I right?

Thank you!
