RFORCE

RFORCE, NVAR, NODE, Item, Comp, Name
Specifies the total reaction force data to be stored.

Compatible Products: – | Pro | Premium | Enterprise | Ent PP | Ent Solver | DYNA

NVAR

Arbitrary reference number assigned to this variable (2 to NV [NUMVAR]). Overwrites any existing results for this variable.

NODE

Node for which data are to be stored. If NODE = P, graphical picking is enabled (valid only in the GUI).

Item

Label identifying the item. Valid item labels are shown in the table below. Some items also require a component label.

Comp

Component of the item (if required). Valid component labels are shown in the table below.

Name

Thirty-two character name identifying the item on printouts and displays. Defaults to an eight character label formed by concatenating the first four characters of the Item and Comp labels.

Notes

Defines the total reaction force data (static, damping, and inertial components) to be stored from single pass (ANTYPE,STATIC or TRANS) solutions or from the expansion pass of mode-superposition (ANTYPE,HARMIC or TRANS) solutions.

Table 218:  RFORCE - Valid Item and Component Labels

Valid item and component labels for node results are:
ItemCompDescription
FX,Y,ZX, Y, or Z structural force
MX,Y,ZX, Y, or Z structural moment
HEAT[1] Heat flow
FLOW Fluid flow
AMPS Current flow
FLUX Magnetic flux
CSGX,Y,ZX, Y, or Z magnetic current segment component
RATE Diffusion flow rate
VLTG Voltage drop
CURT Current
CHRG Charge

  1. For SHELL131 and SHELL132 elements with KEYOPT(3) = 0 or 1, use the labels HBOT, HE2, HE3, . . ., HTOP instead of HEAT.
