Support reactions - values

Returns a reaction value at support.

RSA_SUPPORT_REACTION (Force type, Node no., Case no., Case component no.)

The RSA_SUPPORT_REACTION formula syntax has the following arguments:

Force type

The following types of forces are available:

• FX

  reaction force FX

• FY

  reaction force FY

• FZ

  reaction force FZ

• MX

  reaction moment MX

• MY

  reaction moment MY

• MZ

  reaction moment MZ

Note: If you type an argument in the formula manually, enclose the text in quotation marks. You can also select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.

Node no.

The following input methods are available:

• Text - type a text (any character string) and enclose it in quotation marks, for example: "ALL" - all nodes in the project or "1 2 3" - specified list of nodes
• Number - type an integer
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@"
  Note: If nodes are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first node selected.

Case no.

The following input methods are available:

• Text - type a text (any character string) and enclose it in quotation marks, for example: "ALL" - all cases in the project or "1 2 3" - specified list of cases
• Number - type an integer
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@"
  Note: If cases are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first case selected.

Case component no.

It is a number of the case included in a combination.

The following input methods are available:

• Number - type an integer
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@"
  Note: If cases components are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first case component selected.

Formula:

RSA_SUPPORT_REACTION("MY",17,11,1) - specifies a value of the MY moment for the node number 17, for the load case number 11 and for the component number 1

Result (value):
