Hi to everyone,

I need to extract the resultant forces and moments of SPC applied on a surface.

How can I do ?

 

Thanks to all.

    Hi,

     

    Any FE entity will be mapped to FE entities at the end. 

     

    SO, SPCs on the surface will be mapped to nodes on the mesh associated to the surface.

     

    You can add SPCF and this should extract SPC forces.

    thanks @Prakash Pagadala,
    Is it possible to calculate the resultants forces or moments of SPC nodes? (in Hyperview or Hypermesh)
    In particular, if i ve 250 nodes (as example) i can extract 250 x 6 [FORCES (3) or MOMENTS (3)] REACTIONS.
    It is possible to calculate the resultants of these Reactions (on six DOFs) ?

    Hi @Jebunderscore

     

    A .spcf file will be written in your working directory which is an ASCII file. 

     

    You can use this file with any textpad to calculate reactions by component.

     

    In HyperVIew, You can use query panel and select nodes by set if you have already created a set for SPCF, export the same to .csv or other text format
