Getting the total magnitude of the load applied.
Getting the total magnitude of the load applied.
(OP)
Hi,
If I apply pressure load on a surface, is there a way in which I can query abaqus to show me the magnitude of the FORCE generated by pressure load?

RE: Getting the total magnitude of the load applied.
Otherwise you can run a dummy model, where you fix all DOF and sum the reaction forces of all nodes of the surface with the load.

Thank you. I tried your way out.It was a success.Took less than 5 minutes.I will outline the process for benefit of others who might read this.
Made a Dummy model with one node fixed encastre, requested for RF in output field,ran it, went to Visualization Module---> Went to Report menu----unique node ---- RF.
The results were printed in Abaqus.rpt file.
Thanks once again.

If one forgets the field output, it is possible to get a rough estimate with the section tool.
