I would like to output the contact pressures between two surfaces in an axisymmetric model. The contact tool only gives min and max where I would like to have all the results. I have tried some macros I found online with no success. Ansys doesn't seem to be able to retrieve the CONTPRES data. Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to output all nodes at all load steps.

Thanks
