Hello together,

 

i have ba2-Elements with a PBeam property. I need the radial force of each element to design a bearing seat.

 

Is this the correct way: Post/Contour/CBAR Shear Plane-1B or -2 B? (Have anybody a list, what kind of datatype which results are? I don´t now, what CBAR Shear Plane-1B is. Is it the force or the strain in shear direction?) )

 

Or is a Conrol Card needed like by SPCF-Forces?

 

With best regards

    Hi BeMa86

     

    Can you use the control card GPFROCE and check if that helps?

     

    activating GPFORCE means requesting grid point forces.
