View Resultant Force at Connections

View resultant force and moment for selected connections.

  1. In the Project Tree, open the Analysis Workbench.
  2. In the workbench toolbar, click the (Reaction/contact force) icon.
  3. Click the Connections tab.
    A summary table of resultant force and moment for the selected connection is given along with the location of the force centroid. Force and moment vectors are displayed in the modeling window. Connecting parts are blue and red. Vectors are oriented with respect to the blue part.
    Note: Only one connection can be selected at a time.
  4. Optional: Use the (Zoom) button to focus on a local area of interest.
