Is it possible to find out what the reaction loads are at the supports of a model after doing an analysis?

    Hello,

    This is possible in Inspire 2016.2. Just use Callout and mouse over the support of interest:

    Ok I have had a little play with this and found a few things. When I tried this on a model that had only supports and forced displacement, after running the analysis I only got displacement results (no stress results) and mousing over with the callout gave a displacement not a reaction. If I then added a very small force and ran the analysis the results showed all the stress results as well as displacement and mousing over the forced displacement gave a reaction force.

    Another thing, is it possible to get the load in a fastener connection?

    Thanks,

    Clayton,

    Please update to Inspire 2017. This issue is fixed in there.

    Thanks,
