CELS Contact Energy

Hi,

If have request diferent paramenters to be output in the history Output and they all show up but CELS.
Prepomax 2.3.3. Surface to Surfae interaction.

Am I missing something?


Regards

It seems to be a regression because it works for a simple test case in v2.3.0 but not in v2.3.4.

I have fixed the history output reader. It will be included in the next release.

Can you confirm the bug is solved?

I still can’t see the contact energy.

For me, the history output looks like this.

But it is true that the CELS option is not included in the Field outputs. I will add it to the possible options.

I have added support for CELS output to the field outputs. It was already there but commented for some reason that I did not write down. @FEAnalyst are you aware of any problems with the CELS field output?

Only this thread: CELS.Contact (Springs Energy) - CalculiX (official versions are on www.calculix.de, the official GitHub repository is at https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX).

But for me, it’s displayed on the whole surface:

Thank you for testing this feature. It is also working for me.
