CPRESS output with *SLIDE LINE interactions

Hello Everyone,

I have a model in which there are two concentric cylinders with initial overclosures.

This model will eventually incorporate asymmetric loading so I have created the model using CAXA4R2 elements along with ISL21A slide line elements for contact.

The contact pressure distribution is needed along the interface of the two cylinders but when I view the results of the analysis, CPRESS is not an option.

The model was created in CAE and the input file was edited to incorporate the CAXA and ISL elements.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.



The Output region of my input file is:



** OUTPUT REQUESTS

*Restart, write, frequency=0

*Print, solve=NO

** FIELD OUTPUT: F-Output-3

*Output, field



*Contact Output

CDISP, CSTRESS



** FIELD OUTPUT: F-Output-1

*Node Output

CF, RF, U

** FIELD OUTPUT: F-Output-2

*Element Output, directions=YES

E, LE, P, PE, PEEQ, PEMAG, S

** HISTORY OUTPUT: H-Output-1

*Output, history

*Energy Output

ALLIE, ALLKE, ALLSD

*End Step

 
All Right,

After some tedious reading through the Analysis manual I've found out that when using the ISL__ elements apparently CPRESS is actually defined as S11.
