You can list reaction forces on selected entities for an active static, nonlinear, drop test and dynamic study. The software lists the X-, Y-, Z-components of the reaction force, and the resultant reaction force on the selected entities and on the entire model as well.
To list reaction forces, after running the analysis, right-click Results and select List Result Force. In the PropertyManager, under Options select Reaction force.
You can also click (Simulation CommandManager).
Reaction Force
Lists the X-, Y-, Z- components of the reaction force, and the resultant reaction force on the selected entities and on the entire model.
| Response Graph |
 |
Available only with nonlinear, drop test and dynamic studies. Creates 2D time history plots for the X-, Y-, Z- components of the reaction force, and the resultant reaction force on the selected entities and on the entire model. |
Reaction Moment
Lists the X-, Y-, Z- components of the reaction moment, and the resultant reaction moment on the selected entities and on the entire model.

Available only with nonlinear, drop test and dynamic studies. Creates 2D time history plots for the X-, Y-, Z- components of the reaction moment, and the resultant reaction moment on the selected entities and on the entire model. |
Display Options
| Display resultant forces |
Converts the three force vectors (X-, Y- and Z- components) to a resultant force vector. Only the resultant force vector is displayed.
