Displaying free-body results

Note:

The Free Body Results command remains available for legacy purposes. Consider using the Nodal Force Report command, which provides more functionality, including saving the results as a solution or field. It is also associated with a solution and not a post view.

Use the Free Body Results command to display the total forces and moments for a specified interface summed about a specified reference node or a point in space. The interface is defined by nodes connected to a group of elements. You can display the results with respect to the global coordinate system or another selected coordinate system.

The software lists the forces and moments in the Information window and displays the magnitude or component vectors in the graphics window. You can print the results from the Information window.
