Plotting the gap distance variable
I am trying to do something very simple, but it doesn't seem to be intuitive. I have a contact pair in the structural mechanics module and I want to plot the gap distance variable as a function of...

Hi that should work, but do not forget that the gap distance is a field (hence depends on x,y,z and t) so for the plot either you take an average value or you measure from a "point" to get a time plot...

I plotted the gap distance variable (gap_cp21_smps, in my case) for contact pair 21 at point 108, which happens to be on the slave boundary for that pair. I attached a picture of the setup for clarity....

Hi if you check the doc, the gap distance of a "point" is the distance from that point along the surface normal to the interception of the other boundary, so if you want an average you need to average...
