     Output Reference Frame: The user can choose another desired Reference Marker.

     Contact Output File: If it is checked, the user can get specific output information file such as:

    Bodies’ position

    Orientation

    Contact position

    Normal force

    Friction force

 

The user can see the output file in your working folder where your model is in. The output file name is ‘Filename_ContactElementName.out’.

 

     Radial Clearance: Defines as a gap between the cylinder and piston.
