Hi  I am doing a non linear  (contact) static analysis .I have connected Two components( same youngs modulus, Different densities).

During post processing when i query the resilt at the common node sit is giving result with two values.

These two values differ by small amount in few locations and in few locations it is one value double of the other.

can any one help in finding out why is this happening.image.png.35f9256494b8c6d4c28866f55f9ddfb6.png

    If the node is common among different parts and you get an average value by part.If you select the option in contour panel average across component boundaries you will get one single value then you will just need to check the remove duplicates in the query panel.
