Hello sirs,

I've created an axisymmetric model of a flange and a steel sealing ring. Using a dynamic implicit step, I'm attempting to read out the coordinates of several nodes as the flange is forced towards the ring (XY Data and the COORD Field Variable).

However, the coordinates remains constant even though there is substantial displacement. I haven't defined any local coordinate systems.

Any ideas or hints, or even a nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated as I've been hitting my head against this for two days.

Best regards,
Andres
