Dear all,

Before, when I applied a displacement on Node #X (actually a pilot node on a rigid body), I can use RFORCE command to extract the reaction force after POST26 (Time History Prostprocessing)

Now, I am applying force load on Node #X (also a pilot node on a rigid body), I'd like to obtain the force applied on that node in POST26. Could I still do it?

PS: I know as I applied it, theoretically I can get that data somewhere else... But plotting displacement-force curve in one place is going to make the code base much easier to manage. Thanks again!

Shawn
