- Mapdl.rforce(nvar='', node='', item='', comp='', name='', **kwargs)#
Specifies the total reaction force data to be stored.
APDL Command: RFORCE
- Parameters:
- 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).
