How to export reaction forces

Objective:

Using this custom block, learn how to export reaction forces from a simulation analysis.

Applies to:

  • Static Analysis

Solution:

This article uses a Custom Block to create our desired outcome. If you are new to using Custom Blocks, learn how to import, modify, and update them with the following resources:

1. This tutorial starts with an existing FE Solid Model and Static Analysis. If you are unfamiliar with how these blocks work, please review the following articles for the FE Solid Model and the Static Analysis.

2. The next step is to define your reaction force points for the custom block. Open the properties of the FE Implicit Solid Mesh block and extract its vertices from the volume mesh.

3. The final step is to add an Export Point Map block to export your results.
