I'm pretty sure this is a very basic question but I didn't find any resources about it...

I have a rigidbody with a mass and velocity attached to a deformable mesh and want to find out the reaction forces on the rigidbody.

 

Thanks in advance!

    You may create a TH request for your RBODY /TH/RBODY in help, in HM right click on TH in browser, Create RBODY, then in card, select your RBODY element and set output variable to DEF (which includes Forces), the values output are FX,FY,FZ, but on reading the T01 in Hypergraph, it also creates resultants for you
