Hi,

 

Suppose I have a simple model of a body supported at a point with a 123456 dof constraint. How do I query the forces and moments at the constraint.

 

Similarly if I have 2 bodies connected to on another using RBE2 elements, how do I query the force that the RBE2 (I think of it as a constraint) see's or more precisely the node of the RBE2 sees?

    Mahek,

     

    Load the result file in HyperView and plot for SPCFORCE and GPFORCEs
