Sensitivity of contact predictions to the number of element divisions in the x and z directions for the artificial knee model. (a) Contact force. (b) Contact torque. (c) Peak pressure. (d) Average pressure. The sensitivity can be different in the two directions. Contact force and torque are much less sensitive to the element grid than are peak and average contact pressure. The high average pressure sensitivity is due to contact area sensitivity (not shown).
