Hello everyone,

we were using Abaqus earlier for our simulation purposes and currently ls-dyna. In Abaqus there is an output variable NFORC with which we reteive nodal forces on the model. Currently there are no Keywords in LS-Dyna to retrive the same. Does anyone know another method to obtain this? I have attached the result of an example from abaqus. A beam is loaded with F=100 in X-Direction(towards right, on node 3). Then when we request the NFORC in abaqus we get the results(NFORC1 in x-direction) as shown in the bottom part of the picture.
