!**create a element table containing the contact status of each element
ESEL,S,ETAB,CONTSTAT,1,1, ,0 !selcts element based on contact status
*get,elem_count,elem,count !returns number of elemetnt with correct select status
previous_elem=0
*do,i,1,elem_count
*get,current_elem,elem,previous_elem,nxth !next element number in selected set
*get,current_area,elem,current_elem,area,vol !returns the element volumes (I think for an area element this will return the area)
contact_area=contact_area+current_area
*enddo
