Post-processing of force reaction probes

ArisvHouten

For an analysis I've fixed constraint multiple surfaces via Named Selections. Now I would like to evaluate the reaction forces of all individual constraint surfaces without rerunning the analysis, instead of the total reaction forces.

Is there a way to post-process these result in ANSYS via APDL for example?

You should be able to evaluate force reactions at those named selections if the "nodal forces" were turned on in the output settings in the analysis settings. If those are off you will have to solve it again.

Hi Aniket,

Thanks for your reply. They were switched on. How do I access these via ADPL?

Best,

Aris
