Export forces and coordinates for multiple joints

    • Søren Wahlgren

      I have a model with +200 joints I would like to extract data (forces and undeformed coordinates) from to excel. Since there are so many joints, I would love to not have to probe each joint individually....

      Any help is much appreciated.

      Hi Soren,

      To export nodal coordinates, go to file=>Options=> Export and set "Include Node Location" to Yes.

      /forum/forums/topic/export-nodal-coordinate/

      And for the exporting many reaction forces check this discusion on forum.

      Hope this helps.

        Both methods require that I define a probe for each joint which is exactly what I would like to avoid doing for +200 joints. It's definitely a plan B though.

        About exporting coordinates. I set it to "yes" but they're not being exported with either solution. Do I need to do something else?
