Evaluating moments in structural simulation in AIM

  Hi,
  
  how can moments (at a cutting plane through a body) be evaluated in a structural simulation in AIM? Something similar to Mechanical like the "Construction Geometry - Surface" tool would be great. The surface can be arbitrarily oriented in the model.
  
  Is there another possibility to get moments?
  
  Best regards

  Hi Lucas Ziegler
  
  Unlike Mechanical, moments are available, only when applied to constraints in AIM. Thus while, the moment reaction at a BC can be evaluated, it doesn't seem possible to get the moments through any arbitrary plane.
  
  We will share your idea/input with the product development team.
  
  Thanks & Regards,
  
  Gaurav
