Finding a reaction force for a specific contact in a static structural model

You can either right click on solution, then go to insert --> probe --> force reaction, or you can drag and drop the contact you want to see the reaction force for into the solution folder.

To view a reaction force for a specific contact, you can do one of 2 things. You can either right click on solution, then go to insert --> probe --> force reaction, or you can drag and drop the contact you want to see the reaction force for into the solution folder. Additionally, you will need to set the nodal forces to be written out before you run your analysis so that you will be able to use the force reaction probe. To do this, you will need to go to Analysis Settings --> Output Controls --> Nodal Forces and switch from No to Yes.
