I need help on how to extract all nodes on the contact surface (master nodes) and their corresponding contact output into my .dat file. I used this command *CONTACT PRINT, SLAVE= F1DX, MASTER=D1FX, FREQUENCY=20
*CONTACT FILE, SLAVE= F1DX, MASTER=D1FX, FREQUENCY=20 but Abaqus gives me nodes which are not on the contact surface. More importantly, the output .dat nodes are not found in my meshed nodes. The nodes start from 1837 to 1887, however the nodes on my contact surface (master) start from 1786 to 1836.
