Selection of contact regions in the Worksheet is not supported. If the is used with the Worksheet method, the results are always evaluated for all contact regions.
Pressure results cannot be evaluated for Contact Region objects of the or types.
Motion provides Pressure as one of the consequences of contact, but be aware that this pressure result may not be accurate if one or more of the following three conditions apply:
The face of the element used for contact is rectangular and quadratic in rigid bodies.
Nodes are at the edge of the surface.
