You can view contact pressure plots in linear and nonlinear 2D Simplification studies.
Available for SolidWorks Simulation Professional and above.
In the Stress Plot PropertyManager, under Component 
, select CP: Contact Pressure.
Contact pressure is developed in areas where two bodies come into contact during the analysis and no penetration contact is defined. To enhance the visibility of areas that come into contact and their view is obstructed, an option to show the contact pressure plot only on selected entities is available.
In the Stress Plot PropertyManager, under Advanced Options, select Show plot only on selected bodies. Select the faces to show the contact pressures.
You can view the contact pressures in 2D plots as vectors, and also in 3D plots. In the Stress Plot PropertyManager, under Display, select Show as 3D plot or Show as vector plot.
For 3D plots, the results are extruded across the section depth as defined in the properties of the study (plane stress, plane strain), or revolved about the axis of symmetry (axi-symmetric studies).
