Simsolid Patch Processing

Hello

I am fairly new to this. I am working with Simsolid. I am current using a model and I am prescribing X,Y,Z displacements and then recording the force and moment reactions for one of the parts in the model. For the purposes of my research, I have a list of hundreds if not thousands of displacements of X,Y,Z I need to analyze and record the corresponding reaction forces for a part. 

Currently I've been doing this manually one point at a time. I am curious if there is anyway I can automate this process so I can have the program process multiple points and record the resulting forces possibly reading and saving CSV files or anyway this can be done.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

    Hey Corey,

    You can use Datum points to achieve this.

    If the link doesn't work, search up Datum Points in the SimSolid help.
