Hi,

I have given presecribed displacement to a surface in my geometry. I want to calculate reaction force (force required for that diplacement) on a surface, How do you calculate that on the surface selected and some other surface??

I did global evaluation and selected reaction force, however that does not give me the option to slect a particular surface where I want to calculate the reaction force.

The reaction force under Global Evauation is the total reaction force acting on the structure. You need to add a Surface Integration node to calculate the reaction force acting on a certain boundary.
