Hi,

 I am trying to analyze the contact forces during impact using radioss.

Do you have a pictorial representation or any documentation of Normal forces in X, Y, Z, Tangent forces in X,Y,Z and Total Forces in X, Y, Z?

 

I also want to know whether the component of a total force components would be the addition of Normal force vector component and tangent force vector component?

 I could not find any documentation yet.

 

Please help me out.

 

Thanks

    Hi Sandesh,

     

    Have you tried using TH/INTER which outputs the normal and tangent forces to T01 file?
