Hi all,

I am doing a contact simulation and would like to obtain the total area in contact. I am able to get an output using:
************************
*Output, history
*CONTACT OUTPUT, MASTER=masterSurf, SLAVE=slaveSurf
CAREA
************************

However, the output is a single integer value. Does anyone know what's going on here? Is the output value truncated for some reason?

Other variables, like CFN, carry many digits.

Thanks!
