I apply a force load on its face so the load is distributed on its volume and&nbsp;is transmitted and distributed over&nbsp;the other bodies. If I probe the reaction force at one of the multiple bodies (call it secondary body) connected to the main body I get a vector pointing in the opposite direction of the distributed force load and the magnitude should balance a portion of the applied force load. But if I want to know the force load vector on that secondary body is it correct to invert the sign of the x y and z component of the reaction force probed? Please refer to the following picture for better understanding.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/126bdb0d-9b87-4063-acfd-aa9500effb47\/1e874616-c7b9-4d8c-b4e9-ab82013e29c3_reaction-force-force.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"force-reactionforce\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-41893","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["14073"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1994"],"_bbp_subscription":["241639"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["41893"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","167024"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["7"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["108287"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["108287"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-03-19 12:40:38"]},"test":"nyla"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/41893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/41893\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
