I've got a model with two supports one is fixed and the second one is cylindrical, when I ask for the reaction forces it only gives reaction at the fixed support and 0 on the cylindrical one, I've also tried with hinge but same output. (using 2019 R1)

  Any idea why?

I'll have to inquire with the development team about this.  The results don't seem to be accurate, although in some cases you should make sure the calculation is not reporting a sum of the values if the result will have components in opposite directions.

Hi Brian,

  Do you have any update on this issue?

 

Thanks a lot for your help

At the current point in time the reaction resultant will only be reported for a fixed support.  Other supports will show 0 N.  We're working to improve the support types that are accepted by the calculators.

Thanks a lot for your reply, I keep an eye on the next releases
