Calculating Reaction Forces
There are different ways to evaluate reaction forces and these are discussed in this section.
•
Using Predefined Variables to Evaluate Reaction Forces
•
Using Weak Constraints to Evaluate Reaction Forces
•
Using Surface Traction to Evaluate Reaction Forces
•
Evaluating Surface Traction Forces on Interior Boundaries
The following sections describe the merits and costs of these methods.
