Does anyone knows how to use writeFieldReport to export NFORC results into a text file? Right now I am trying this for global nodal displacements:
session.writeFieldReport(fileName='DISPLACEMENT_OUT.rpt',
append=OFF,
sortItem='Node Label',
odb=odb,
step=last_step_number,
frame=lastframe_number,
outputPosition=NODAL,
displayGroup= dg ,
variable=( ('U',NODAL), )
)
This will give me nodal displacement, I need to find element nodal forces using writeFieldReport. PS: I already know how to use probe value to get "NFORCE"s I need to find a way to automate the post processing.
Thanks
From the Analysis User's Manual>Output>Nodal Variables, the variable identifier you are looking for is probably one of: TF, RF, or CF. Details on these output variables and how to request them from an analysis are available in the manual, if you need them.
