Hello,

 

is there a quick way to check for the node, where a force is applied? And if it's not the desired one, how do you change it?

 

I have reaction forces of a cross-section in the centroid. Now i want to attach the force to the calculated node of a RBE2-Elem.

 

thank you very much,

Tim

 

edit: i'm using optistruct as solver

    Hi Tims

      You can  review the applied load on a node 

    go to card edit ->loads -> pick the load -> edit
