Does Abaqus calculate real force for you with axisymmetry? Or do you have to multiply with 2 pi ?
Does Abaqus calculate real force for you with axisymmetry? Or do you have to multiply with 2 pi ?

Hi!
I am simulating an indentation on an axisymmetric model with displacement control. I then want the learn the correct force on the model.
In order to get the correct global force, do I have to multiply the indenter reaction force with 2pi, or does Abaqus calculate this for me?
Thank you for any help!
