Hi,
I am trying to visualize the contact pressure in the odb file which is stored in CSTRESS. However, I do not know how to do it properly. I have a 2D model and the contact is between a rigid plate (a line) and a material block (a rectangle). Unlike the other state variables that can be visualized with the contour plot, the contact pressure is not so visible when I make a contour plot for it. The best I can do is as follows. I am wondering whether it is possible to: 1) directly have the contact pressure distribution with data since what I extract from output values is time evolution of contact pressure at different nodes and I need to manually post-process it to get the distribution 2) change the color and thickness of the curve in the following plot since it will be barely visible if I make an animation and I did not find how to set these in contour options. Thanks!
