The valve and the valve seat ring are meshed with axisymmetric second order triangular elements. This allows for free meshing,
The mesh is controlled by a global size (parameter esize) and the refinement factor at the contact zone (parameter refine).

The postprocessing script generates plots of the equivalent stress of the 2D base and of the expanded model. Also, path plots of the contact pressure and slip are generated.
> cgx -b post.fbd
For wear prediction, contact pressure and slip are relevant.
