    Hello,

     

    1. Depending on your preference you can check it with the summary panel. Eg. for Optistruct use Menu 'Tools->Summary Template', load the 'LOADS' template and check...

    2. Perform an analysis and check the reaction forces.

    3. In any case the Load Summation works great for me...

     

     

    Best regards,

    Mario

    Hi,

     

    Please request SPCF (reaction forces). this will output the forces on SPCs (constraints)

     

    Now,check if the sum of SPCFs is equal to applied load. this way you can come to a conclusion.

     

    to request SPC forces, go to Analysis-->Control Cards-->Global Output Request-->SPCF

     

    you can see the SPCF (force/moment) during post-process in HyperView.
