What formula Abaqus uses for Calculating CPRESS?

[coolFL]

Hi Everybody,

I was interested in knowing, what formula Abaqus uses for calculating CPRESS i.e. contact pressure between any two bodies? Any direction on this would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance,

Nik

You're probably looking for Section 38 of the Analysis Manual and/or Section 5.2 of the Theory Manual
