ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.rforce#

Mapdl.rforce(nvar='', node='', item='', comp='', name='', **kwargs)#

Specifies the total reaction force data to be stored.

Mechanical APDL Command: RFORCE

Parameters:
nvarstr

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

nodestr

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

itemstr

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

compstr

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

namestr

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.
