Simlab: Output applied load and reaction force summary
This turns out really easy in Simlab. Simply create a text file for input/output with the following:
OLOAD
SPCFORCE
Near bottom the output *.out file, look for:
Subcase: 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Label x-force y-force z-force x-moment y-moment z-moment -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sum-App. -1.893E+04 8.693E+04 -7.083E-12 -8.721E+06 -1.899E+06 1.942E+07 Sum-SPCF 1.893E+04 -8.693E+04 1.052E-05 8.721E+06 1.899E+06 -1.942E+07 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1. All applied and SPC forces are transferred to the origin of the basic coordinate system, so that the applied and SPC loads can match. 2. If spring elements and/or MPCs exist in the model, total applied loads may not match total SPC loads. 3. If axisymmetric elements are present in the model, the total x-force and y-force and all the total moments are set to zero, according to principles of axisymmetric analysis. 4. If periodic boundary conditions exist in the model, total applied loads may not match total SPC loads.
In Hypermesh, I believe there are check boxes for outputs for same function.
