Sum of forces display acting on a body

Sum of forces display acting on a body

Dear Adams professionals,

I can't figure out how to measure, and display the acting forces (torques) on a body. For example I made a cube with mass, and set the default gravity with default orientation. When I simulate the cube falls "down". How can I measure the acting force on the cube?

The methods I have tried:
-CM right click, measure; Set the appropriate "Sum of forces on body" measure. RESULT: nothing measured.
-Measuring with function FM(). RESULT: nothing.

Any ideas?!

Regards

Dear Greg,

Thank You for the reply! I will try the MSC's forum then. If I have any solution I will post it here too.

Regards
