Extract Internal Forces

AM_20700

How can I extract the internal force at a specific location or along a line?
For example, I'm applying a force at the shaft and interested in the force at the joint between the shaft and the plate (obviously, in this example the force is equal to the applied force. But I'd like to extract forces in locations where the value is not obvious). How can I extract the force along the highlighted line?

Thanks.

you could use the free body tools in HV. Make sure you request GPFORCE in order to be able to retrieve these forces at specific points.
