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.

Hi Aurea,

Contact area output is available only for segment to segment contact. There is no additional output request needed.

Normal force on first by second is the resultant of conact normal forces at all the nodes. Contact normal force output is avaialable at all the contact nodes.
