From the
Selection List editor that appears, select one
or more items, and click
OK.
Note:
Only a subset of the loads and restraints in your results are eligible for selection as

Select an Axis system:
Option | Description |
---|
Global |
The origin of the global axis is used as the center for computing
the sensor values. |
Results axis system |
The origin of the results axis system (created in Physics Results Explorer) is used as the center for
computing the sensor values. |
Model Axis system |
The origin of the model axis system (created in the model apps) is used as the center for computing the sensor values. You can
select the model axis system from the tree or in the 3D model. |
Normal and tangential |
The centroid (accounting for force distribution) of the selected support is used for
computing the sensor values. |
Note:
Axis selection is not available when you select connector sections as supports.

Select Show glyph to show the glyphs for forces and
moments in the model.

Click
OK.
The tree and the Feature Manager display the Total Force, Total Moment, and the X, Y, and Z components of forces and
moments.
