  Hi Maurya,
  
  You can escalate this post via your account manager if you don't get enough help here.
  
  But first, I would request you to please try and explain what you are trying to do using inline pictures? Explain your model and show the exact error.
  
  Regards,
  Sandeep

  Hello sandeep sir
  
  How to get the Forces at specified node no?
  
  I am performing crack analyses and have to verify the result by calculation.
  
  Here is a picture of specified portion of analyses, i want the forces on all of these nodes.
  
  i know the node no's i.e. 45, 161,162, ...
  
  during analyses in. analyses setting > output controls> nodal forces -yes
  
  i on the output control for nodal forces.
  
  Now How to get the nodal forces at specified nodes, i tried the worksheet method please elaborate the process with some example.
  
  In last answer you mention Ansys help that is for customer who have working license.
  
  I am also interested in learning APDL commands, Can you tell me any authorised centre near Kanpur for APDL training.

  Hi Maurya,
  
  You can make a named selection for each node and in a command object, use cmsel and issue FSUM to get the nodal forces.

  All students should have access to the online manual in v19 or later. There is a small workaround on how to access it:
