Save reaction force
*Save reaction force
*Save reaction force
<node set name>, <Global direction>
With this option, the reaction forces at the end of the current step are
saved in the memory and can be used in a subsequent step. The entries of
the <subsequent lines> are the name of the node set <node set name>,
and the global direction <Global direction {1,2,3}> in case of reaction
forces of the solid phase or the global direction <Global direction {w1,w2,w3}>
in case of reaction forces of the fluid phase if elements discretising fluid displacement are used.
Only if the reaction force was saved for a set and it's direction it can be used in
a subsequent step (see *Reaction force).
The table below summarizes the possible global directions of the reaction forces.
| Global direction | Description |
|---|---|
1 |
Reaction force in x1-direction |
2 |
Reaction force in x2-direction |
3 |
Reaction force in x3-direction |
w1 |
Fluid reaction force in x1-direction |
w2 |
Fluid reaction force in x2-direction |
w3 |
Fluid reaction force in x3-direction |
