Hello,

I have the following structure:

Kinematic Coupling - Connector with 0 lenght (Cartesian, Rotation) - CBar.

I need to see the Force at this point and Resquest:
*OUTPUT, HISTORY, FREQUENCY = 1
*NODE OUTPUT, NSET = H_LS
RF,
RT,
TF,
U,

But I get nothing! I didn't see / read that there are not possible with Kinematic Coupling to request RF / RT. I'm thinking it's could be because of the Connector. Can someone confirm that ?
Thanks
 
A coupling has no specific output.
Request output from the connector.
 
What is the role of this coupling-connector system in this case ? Do you apply any load or boundary condition to the reference point ?
 
No, in this case, I took the Coupling + Connector from Part 1 to Part 2, in order to simulation the rotation like a hinge. I didn't have the geometrie that why I took a Kinematic Coupling with Connector. I put a picture I try to explain it with a picture as attachment!
