Hi,

I am looking to get the Nodal Forces and Moments in Optistruct (not Element).

I have activated GPFORCE in output cards. While I am visualizing in Hyperview, I am unable to see neither Nodal Forces nor Nodal Moments.

My requirement is generating a .csv file for the selected nodes which contains Nodal Forces & Moments.

Can anyone help me how can I get that?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Bhanutheja

Which kind of mesh do you use? Shell? Solid?

You should activate advanced mode while importing the model into hyperview.

Also you can use hypermesh with aerospace (optistruct) profile. Then in the aerospace model, result tab>FBD Forces.
