Viewing Element Forces

(OP)
Hello Forum,

I'm reading output loads on CBUSH elements by listing these loads on the data table, however I'd like to view them on my model as well to help me validate the loads directions and coord/system. So far I'm only able to display reaction loads on constrainst using the Freebody tool. I guess I want a freebody of a specific element. Does anyone know how to display these?

Thank you in advance,

Whyowhy

RE: Viewing Element Forces

you can select elements for the freebody.

remember that you need to deselect (turn off vsibilty) of free bodies that you don't want to see.

else print the output, including GPF, and look at the f06 file.
