I'm writing my master thesis and need to export forces over time in Transient analysis.
I tried using the force reaction but it shows the result as zero.
BTW I'm not trying to get the forces from the nodes which is supported, with these i get results.

But with the nodes with no support i get the value 0.

I'm new at APDL coding and I'm in a hurry.

Can somebody help?
Thx.

More information and an example needed for review
I can't share my structure cause it's confidental.
But how would you extract it from a normal cantilever beam fixed at one end, and a force on the other end?
Again, i need the force reaction on the nodes which isn't supported.
 
For a cantilever beam there should not be any nodes required between the free end force(s) and the connected end reaction(s). If your element is somehow different from that, I would think you should be able to give a simple representation of your element structure in question without revealing any confidential information related to the overall structural assembly design.
 
There problem is solved and the case is closed.
