Reading out forces in nodes/elements

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

this might be a very basic FEM question and easy to answer for most of you. Anyhow, I couldn't figure it out how it works with HM/OS, it has been very easy with ANSYS to be honest.

 

How can I readout forces on defined nodes or elements? I need this feature for dimensioning.

 

Thank you very much!
