Resultant Force Calc
Resultant Force Calc
(OP)
Hi,
It's been many years since I last used Mechanica and I've completely forgoten how or even if it is possible apply a fixed displacement to a part and get the resultant force from that displacement.
I know this must be possible as it seems like such a basic requirement which is faily simple to do in Cosmos.
Any help would be gratfully recieved as it would mean not having to go up into the attic and get out the traing manual!!!

Also, you can't get reaction results if the point constraint is associated with a rigid link. If your model is a 3D solid model you may have to use a small beam element that itself is rigidly linked to your constrain surface, but the other end of the beam has a point constraint. There may be a better way out there, but this is all I can think of.
Good Luck,
Steve
