      Hi,

      I encountered some difficulties plotting force vectors on Ls-Prepost. I want to plot all the contact force on the master side of the contact. I have nodal force result from NCFORCE via automatic_node_to_surface, but I didn't find "force" option in vector display section. May I ask for a brief guide on how to do that?

       

      Thanks!

      I think you need intfor, - *DATABASE_BINARY_INTFOR.

      Hi Hansenli, 

      Please read in the interface force files into LSPP and then use then try using the vector option. 

      Cheers,  Ram
