Contour from mesh or grid

I'm doing some work using FEM (Finite Element Method) with triangular elements.
Questions will remain simple for those who have no clue what FEM is.
I got a m*2 matrix "Nodes" with x,y (for each point/node), a n*3 matrix "Elements" each line representing a triangle (element) referencing 3 points from previous matrix and finally i got a m*1 vector "U" that refers to z index of each node.
With "Nodes" and "Elements" i triplot the mesh, adding "U" i can trisurf it and i'd like to show that data with contour() too. But i get an error saying that Z must be a m*2. Any way arround this?

Attach the data in a mat file.....
Data may vary in number depending on user input but its always stored in this matrices structure. WS.mat file attached to original post.
Thank you

I'll accept this answer as it pointed me in the right direction although the similar approach by Duane Hanselman is working better. At least for my data structure.
Thank you
@KSSV If I have function z defined on quadrilateral element meshes, what I do ?. Thank you
