nENFOVECTOR - Element nodal force vector, FVECTOR - Nodal force vectors. Element nodal means element data reported for each element at its nodes. Element nodal data consist of the element derived data (such as strains, stresses, fluxes, and gradients) evaluated at each of the element's nodes. These data are usually calculated at the interior integration points and then extrapolated to the nodes. Whereas the nodal solution from an analysis consists of the degree-of-freedom solution, such as nodal displacements, temperatures, and pressures. For vector degrees of freedom and corresponding reactions. nAnd yes, the red arrows represent the force at the corner nodes whereas the green arrows represent the force at the middle nodes. I am not sure about the corner nodes though.nRegards,nIshan.nn
