Contact Pressure only shown on Slave Assignment and not Master Assignment

In a simulation for contact pressure bewteen a cantilever arm and a hole, the contact pressure is only being shown for the cantilever arm and not the hole. Is this normal? It would seem like the hole itself should have a reciprocating pressure also. Attached is the link to the project and a picture.

The run is titled " Run 12 Impact" Under the Separation Contact Study

Hi there, this is Fillia, thank you for reaching out to us!
The contact pressure field will only be non-zero on the slave assignment of the contact pairs. For your case, this is the arm.
To learn more about the physical contacts, have a look here:
