Plot Thrust Force in Drilling operation

[Hanzo1987]

Hello,
I am simulating a Driling operation and need to know how to plot Thrust force? Do I select it in History Output? and if yes at which point do I select it? at the reference point at the tip of the drill`?

 

[FEA way]

You can use reaction force history output for that. Is your tool rigid ? If yes, it should be quite easy to measure this force.
