Pressure vs displacement diagram

[AleksaBgd94]

Hello everyone,

I am working on the simulation of the behaviour of masonry infill under out-of-plane loading. You can see on the photo attached how the load is assigned (direction of the out-of-plane load). I assigned the uniform load (total force) to the wall. What is the best way to have the pressure (force) vs. displacement of one node of the wall plotted?

I was able to plot the node displacement in desired direction by setting ODB Field output - Unique nodal - displacements and then setting the displacement and picking the node. I think the same can be done if the displacement of the node is defined in History output, but how can I get the pressure (force) plotted?

Thanks in advance.

Request field output variable P and then take it from one element face in postprocessing.
