Contact Surface Summary Components
Contact Surface summary components
This section describes the summary (whole surface) data components available for contact surfaces, as opposed to those available for contact segments (which are described in Contact segment results ).
These cannot be plotted, they can only be processed as scalar values in and .
Contact surface summary data components are all extracted from the contact force ( .CTF ) file. They are all forces, computed in D3PLOT by summing the nodal forces on each surface.
