Hello!

Can anyone tell me if I can request an output that provides the maximum penetration in a contact interaction in Abaqus/Standard?

Which output is this?

I'm studying about contact formulations, and I want to compare the influence of changing the default contact stiffness on the contact pressure, penetration observed and total cpu time.

I mean, I'm going to compare what happens when I increase or decrease the default contact stiffness value in a Penalty method for example...

Thanks a lot!
