Strand7 Reaction Forces

[gharli]

Hi All,

I very well may be missing something, but I cannot find out how to show nodal reactions in Strand7? I've tried the following routes:

1. Opening the results viewer and selecting the "node tab" - the only tab at the bottom of the window is for "displacement". I don't see "reaction" anywhere.
2. Element results window - again no option for reaction anywhere! Only options are "displacement" "stress" "force" and "moment"
3. Using the peek option - alas, under nodes there is nowhere that shows reactions, the only peeking i'm able to do is to obtain displacements and rotations.
4. Graphing tool - also not working, the only option to graph under nodes are displacements.


Am I missing something? Attached is screen grab of some of the options above showing "reactions" missing.

Plate element stresses and forces are showing perfectly.

Please help! Using strand7 V2.3.8.

Thanks,

When you run the solver, click on the Results tab, and make sure that Node reactions are selected.

Great! Thank you very much Doug.

For reference if others stumble on this simple problem, tick box location is here:

Looks like you are using an earlier version there.

In the latest version the "calculate" options are on a separate Results tab, in the solver dialog box.
