Topic: Monitoring Surface Reaction

Hello,

I'm new user for ATENA V 4.3, and I'm trying to model a simple beam which has two steel plates as supports at ends, (same like the provided example in the manual). I'm applying supports on the whole surface of the steel plate but the question is:..

Is there any way to monitor the value of reaction at the support? (I'm confused about this mainly because the only option for monitoring is to define only a point)

Thanks in advance,

Mohamed

Re: Monitoring Surface Reaction

Hello, the easiest way is to apply the support in the direction you wish to monitor only in a single point, and make the support plate stiff enough.
