•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.
