    You can request Gridpoint forces. 

     

    Reactions forces are available when there are constraints.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Teja,

     

    You can either do a pretension analysis and output Pretension bolt force. The PRETBOLT command can be used in the I/O Options or Subcase Information sections to request output of pretension force/adjustment values in the pretension bolts for all pretensioning and pretensioned subcases.

     

    Or

     

    use GPFORCE to output if you are just running a linear static analysis.

    Teja,

     

    You can open the file in any text editor to get the forces.
