Hi everyone,

I want to know what are the forces at different joints of my suspension system. Check how design changes affect these forces etc.

However, I can't find any parameter that looks like that in my postprocessor. I'm sure it's fairly easy, but I just can't find how to do it.

Any suggestion how to do this?


P.S: I believe I have seen this done in A/View in some tutorials in YT. However, I'd prefer doing it in A/Car as I'm more familiar with it, as well as having created already a template for the particular suspension model I want to test. I'd rather not do it in A/View, unless learning the differences and importing the model is really worth it.

Thanks

After investigating a bit, I think I found what I was looking for.

I had to change the "source" from "requests" to "result sets". Still can't find a way to make a request of such information. But I think this gives me what I was after.
