Recorder for forces of contact element (zerolength element)

[semon]

Hi all,

I am trying to see the forces in contact element, however the recorder gives me just time and no element forces. What is the proper recorder to use to get forces of zerolength element?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

if it is the zeroLengthContact2D or 3D element: the element should respond to "force"

It is zeroLengthContact3D element. However I could find out the recorder for forces. Thank you for your help

If you use zerolength element to represent bearing does not it should have deformation?
