Listing Pin Forces

To list the forces in each pin:

  1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click the Results folder and select List Connector Force .
  2. Select pin between branches in Connector .
  3. Select SI in Units.
  4. Select List X, Y, Z components under Report Options.
    The dialog box lists Shear Force, Axial Force, Bending Moment, and Torque in the selected pin at Joint 1.
    Type Resultant X-Component Y-Component Z-Component
    Shear Force (N) 106.28 0.945 106.27 0
    Axial Force (N) 25.95 0 0 -25.537
    Bending moment (N-m) 1.273 0.382 -1.215 0
    Torque (N-m) 1.8375e-012 0 0 -1.8375e-012
  5. Set Connector to pin between bolt and boltHole.
    The dialog box lists Shear Force, Axial Force, Bending Moment, and Torque in the selected pin at Joint 1.
    Type Resultant X-Component Y-Component Z-Component
    Shear Force (N) 5.021e-05 0 -4.1048e-07 0
    Axial Force (N) 5.0209 5.0209 0 0
    Bending moment (N-m) 0.00127 0 0.00127 1.2563e-07
    Torque (N-m) 0.554 0.554 0 0
  6. Click .
