ADPL method for extracting individual node reaction

ADPL method for extracting individual node reaction

ADPL method for extracting individual node reaction

(OP)
Hello,

I understand that one can simply list the reaction solution in the postprocessor and have the reactions for all selected nodes listed.

However, I am trying to obtain the reaction solution for a specific node within a macro in order to fill an array with a series of these nodal reactions.

The *GET function doesn't seem to be able to do this. Any suggestions how this may be done?



RE: ADPL method for extracting individual node reaction

First, dimension and name your array. Then use:

*GET,<parameter_name>,NODE,<node_number>,RF,(FX, FY etc.)

Then fill the array with each result.

Cheers,

When I tried that command previously to obtain the heat flow reaction force it did not work properly. Which F would be appropiate for the heat flow?
