You list the reaction forces on the model.

  1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click the Results folder and select List Result Force .
  2. In the PropertyManager, under Selection:
    1. Set Unit to English (IPS).
    2. Select the face shown below for Faces, Edges, or Vertices .
    3. Click Update.
  3. Under Reaction force, view the reaction forces on the selected face and on the whole model as well.
    The listing shows that the X-component of the reaction force is dominant and equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the applied force (-200 lbf).
