Reaction force

[Pingen]

Hi,

In WB.

How do I see the reaction forces in my supports? Can WB calculate the total reaction force?

What is WB? I assume you mean WildFire? You would need to use Mechanica for that. But can't you take a SWAG (Scientific Wild Arse Guess) by doing some hand calculations?

If by WB you mean WorkBench, then you probably should post in the ANSYS section.

If you do mean WorkBench, then you just click on your support and there's a tab named Reaction than you can expand and see your reaction forces.

Thanks for your replies.

I'm talking about WorkBench indeed. I'll start this thread in the ANSYS forum.

Furthermore, I tried to look up the reaction force the way Bakly describes, but there is no Reaction tab. I'm using a displacement support.

Continuing in the ANSYS forum now.

Have fun with your Pro/E stuff.
