      Hi,

      I am using ONE_WAY_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE_TIEBREAK, is there any way to visualize the extent of tiebreak contact breakage like finge plots of stresses and history variables.

      Thanking you

      Hi, onw way is to use SPR and MPR in the ONE_WAY_SURFACE_TO_SURFACE_TIEBREAK card and use S=INTFOR in the run expression you can get the contact gap contours in intfor, check the binout for RCFORC for tie area and z_force curve as indicater when the tie got break.

      cheers, Ram
