Fig. 3.7.6.1: Reaction forces and moments for two load-cases
The **“Reaction Forces”**-component gives retrieves the support forces and moments. It expects a model at its input-plug and returns via **“RF”** and **“RM”** a data tree containing reaction forces in $$kN$$ and reaction moments in $$kN m$$ as three-dimensional vectors. The **“RF”** and **“RF”** refer to the coordinate system defined at the corresponding support. By default, it is the global one.\
The outermost branches of **"RF"** and **"RM"** contain the results according to the current selection.
Specific supports can be selected via the **"Pos|Inds"**-input: either specify node indexes or positions. In case no input is provided, results for all supports will be output. The order of position- and index-input determines the order of result output**.**
The input-plug **“LCase”** sets the selection for retrieving results. In fig. 3.7.6.1. "LCC/min/max" selects the minimum and maximum envelope of support reactions of load-case-combination "LCC". Via the radio buttons of the "For Supports"-menu of the "Result Selection"-component one can select the principal support component for which to retrieve the accompanying ones.
**“Pos”** returns the position of the supports in the same order as the results. **“SumRF”** and **“SumRM”** offer the possibility to check the resultant reaction moments and forces of the **"RF"** and **"RM"**-output.
