We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

The APDL documentation implies it's not possible.  It doesn't list any of the commands that would be used, such as PRRSOL and PRRFOR, as being supported and explicitly says FSUM results will be wrong.  It's not obvious why reactions forces aren't supported as msopt,expa creates a full model with results.  You could try issuing these commands in a commands object just to see if perhaps they are not blocked and might work for your application. Â
