Create a design response that measures the sum of reaction force vectors across a boundary. The response is derived from the solution of a linear static structural finite element analysis.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
BoundaryBoundaryBoundary that the design response will be computed on.
Load caseBoundary Condition ListLoad case for the design response.
DirectionDirection Component EnumOperation that will be applied after summing all reaction force vectors over the Boundary input. |X| will compute the magnitude of the reaction force vector projected onto the X-axis, |XY| will compute the magnitude of the reaction force vector projected onto the plane spanned by the X-axis and Y-axis, and |XYZ| will compute the magnitude of the non-projected reaction force vector.
FrameFrameReference frame that the reaction force will be computed in. If a frame is not specified, the global coordinate system will be used.
