Hi all,
I modeled orthogonal cutting process using dynamic explicit. I wanted to know how I can get the force applied to the cutter?

Thanks

It's the reaction force (RF) at the location where the displacement is applied.

Thanks Mustaine3. Can you tell me which Output Request (Field or History) should I use though?

 

[Mustaine3]

'depends on your definitions. Can be both.
