Constraint Reaction Query

Hi guys,

I'm working with a fem model in Hypermesh and I need to extract the constraint reactions in some nodes.

In particular way, these nodes, have no constraints with the ground, but they hinge two bodies between them through bars and rigids (as you can see from the attachments).

Thank you in advance,

Best Regards,

Francesco

Hi,

did you try using SPCFORCE?

Hi,

I tried using SPCFORCE, but in this way I got only the reactions of the ground constraints.

I'm wanna obtain the reactions in some nodes with internal constraints; those nodes are not related with the ground.

Thanks and best regards.

Hi @FRAIUC

if you want forces summed at nodes in the global system use GPFORCE.
