Nodal Forces and Moments in Optisturct

Hi,

I am looking to get the Nodal Forces and Moments in Optistruct (not Element).

I have activated GPFORCE in output cards. While I am visualizing in Hyperview, I am unable to see neither Nodal Forces nor Nodal Moments.

My requirement is generating a .csv file for the selected nodes which contains Nodal Forces & Moments.

Can anyone help me how can I get that?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

HyperMesh

Which kind of mesh do you use? Shell? Solid?

Shell Mesh

You should activate advanced mode while importing the model into hyperview.

Also you can use hypermesh with aerospace (optistruct) profile. Then in the aerospace model, result tab>FBD Forces.

could you please elaborate more on the above points?

tried using advanced option in hyperview but didn't work.

since im also trying to extract the nodal loads forces but in .gpf file the sum is always showing zero
