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

(OP)
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!
