Reading reaction forces from point supports [SOLVED]

Hello,

I’m trying to read reaction forces from a model containing both point supports and point support groups using the C# API, code below.

It works fine for the point support groups but not for the point supports. How do I access results for point supports?

Kind regards
Maria

Hi @MariaKarlsson

Unfortunately, we haven’t implemented YET the result reader in case of Point Support as they are equivalent of a point support group where some of the stiffness are equal to ‘0’.

Two possible solutions for you:

Solution 1

femDesign.GetResultsFromBsc(inputBscPath)

where .bsc is a file that you can create using the following steps

The output of this method is a text file that you will need to post-process.

Solution 2

Modify your model so that the Point Support are replaced by the Point Support Group

Let me know if it helps :slight_smile:
