Re: Reaction forces
I figured out that if I double click on CalculiXccxTools in the tree view, I get a Mechanical Analysis dialog where I can set the working directory, then write the .inp file, then edit it, then run CalculiX. When I add the lines in the example from UR_, the reaction loads are included in the .dat fi...

The results look good, but I need reaction forces at the edge I've displaced, and that's not included in the results. I found a discussion that sound...
