View Reactions at Supports

View a summary of the reactions at selected supports.

  1. On the Project Tree, open the Analysis Workbench.
  2. On the Analysis Workbench toolbar, click Reaction/contact force.
  3. Click the Supports tab.
    A summary table of the reactions at selected supports will open. Force and Moment vectors will be displayed in the modeling window.
    Note: If a single support is selected, then the reaction force and moment at the selected support is shown. Reaction center in this case is the center of gravity of the single support. If several supports are selected, then total reaction force and moment are shown, and reaction center is the center of gravity of all selected supports.
  4. Specify the coordinate system in the drop-down menu.
  5. Optional: Save reactions to a .csv file.
    1. Click Save to CSV and choose Save selected or Save all.
    2. In the dialog, enter a file name and select a save location.
    3. Click Save.
