(OP)
I always get a gray color for contact result, any idea to solve the problem? Please take a look at the attached picture.

Thanks

I found this happens only with node-to-surface contacts! I don't have the problem with surface-to-surface contacts. Does anyone have experienced similar problem?

RE: color for contact results

Yes I have experienced the same thing in the past too.  I'm not positive why Ansys can't do a better job with this.  Best to use surface-to-surface in my opinion.
