In this section you will find a summary of variables created in the contact node that can be useful in postprocessing. In Table 2-12 important field variables are listed. For the Shell, Layered Shell and Membrane interfaces, these are appended with the suffix ‘_top’ or ‘_bot’, depending on which side of the boundary that is in contact. All variables are also defined per contact node, for example <phys>.<contact_tag>.Tn is the contact pressure from the contact node with the tag <contact_tag>. These variables can be useful if the model includes multiple contact nodes. Table 2-13 presents global variables related to contact that can be useful for postprocessing.
