I have modelling a mechanical element in ANSYS. Those who have used it will know what I am talking about. I want to obtain the reaction forces at the supports (Fx,Fy,Fz,Mx,My,Mz). So I go to List Reaction forces command window and Ansys gives me a list of nodes and its single reaction:
PRINT REACTION SOLUTIONS PER NODE
***** POST1 TOTAL REACTION SOLUTION LISTING *****
LOAD STEP= 1 SUBSTEP= 1
TIME= 1.0000 LOAD CASE= 0
THE FOLLOWING X,Y,Z SOLUTIONS ARE IN GLOBAL COORDINATES
NODE FX FY FZ MX MY MZ
1424 0.44869E-01 0.66813E-02 0.78517E-01-0.49352E-01 0.20655E-03 0.20254E-03
1425 0.83405 0.73892 2.3231 -5.4600 -0.54559E-03-0.28838
1426 -0.57409E-01 0.76036E-02 0.10521 -0.58399E-01-0.15650E-06 0.33950E-02
...(more)
Something like that. I suppose that all these nodes are the nodes at the boundaries, which are for instance, each of the four supports of the element.
My question is: Is there anyway to obtain the TOTAL (RESULTANT) reaction in each support, instead of the single reaction in the nodes coincident with the boundaries?.
Thanks.
