[Abaqus] Plot transmitted pressure during compression test

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to simulate a uniaxial compression test. Only the top piston is moving down, the bottom one is encastred.
Let's say I apply a 100MPa load on the top piston in order to compress my material. I want to know how much of this load (60% ? 75% ? all of it ?) is transmitted to the bottom one. (goal is to know how important the friction on the side is by comparing results to experiments)

I can't find the right option in the history output requests to follow that during time, whether I want to know the pressure or the reaction force.

Thank you very much.

A.M.
