How to post-proces a RBE3 (interpolation) element?

[engineerbe]

I would like to view how a RBE3 element distributes a force. I've made a simple model with 1 central node, and at a radius 5 other nodes. All 5 nodes have Tx,Ty,Tz constaint. Now I apply a force on the central node. In the results I'm looking for the forces on the dependant nodes. I can only get one reaction visible, the reaction on the loaded node. I want to know how the RBE 3 element distributes the force when all dependant nodes lie on a cirkel, but I can't get is visible. Anyone an Idea?

1) use the freebody display
2) read the f06

I just found out that when I use an Advanced nonlinear Static, I cannot use freebody. Also F06 gives no information on the output

then Grid Point Force Balance will show the loads the RBE is putting on the surrounding structure
