I changed a spring element to link11 actuator element in a command object and defined an axial
force to the actuator.
Spring object:
Environment branch:
Solution branch:
I am getting the following message in the output file. How can I get the force in the actuator?
SELECT FOR ITEM=ENAM COMPONENT=
IN RANGE 11 TO 11 STEP 1
1 ELEMENTS (OF 1623 DEFINED) SELECTED BY ESEL COMMAND.
STORE CYLFORCE FROM ITEM=SMIS COMP= 1 FOR ALL SELECTED ELEMENTS

This should work if you put in the solution branch of Mechanical:
CODE --> APDL
RE: LINK11 results (WB)
It seems to be working as expected not taking into account the actuator force table.
Your suggestion seems to be working,thanks!
