May 18, 2006 #1 Ergoaw Industrial May 18, 2006 2 0 0 ES Hello to everybody, I'm simulating a crack. I'm working with a model using VCCT technique. I've lied two surfaces with a TIE multipoint constraint. I apply a load (MODE I). The question is: How can I obtain the constraint force at nodes? Thanks. Josep Ma
