Plotting Reaction Force Relationship

[mattyjb88]

I am running Solidworks Simulation Professional 2023.
I am assessing a simple hydraulic gate which is subject to several different horizontal loads. The gate is supported on either side by a vertical line reaction (think of a plate simply supported at its outer edges). I want to find a way of displaying/obtaining the reaction force at the line reactions - not the total reaction, but the reaction as it varies with position.

Has anyone found a way to do this?

 

[FEA way]

Create a reaction force contour plot, select Probe --> On selected entities and pick an edge. Press Update and then Plot.
