Hi all, I am new to ANSYS and I need help in using the software. I have a scoliosis brace model that I am suppose to obtain the force and displacement results at the opening of the brace. I have placed two remote points at each edge of the brace opening.

what is the applied load? The applied load could be a load in the normal sense i.e. a force, pressure, gravity, etc. Or an applied non-zero displacement.
When postprocessing results, if the Time of the analysis can be set to the load amount, then any result "Graph" view (center of UI right below graphics region) will show the result vs time (or in this case vs load) graph. This is kind of a 'trick' that may not be feasible depending on the load steps and if time is actually needed. For a normal postprocessing use the Chart tool:
Select one or more result objects, then insert a chart. Then the chart properties in the details can be changed such that the X axis is not time, but one of the result quantities.
