Nodal forces

Dear all,
Hi to all, I have to clarify with you, that, is it possible to get the nodal forces(not Element forces), so that i can able to apply those forces to the building in some model.

Thank you.

Use can find it out yourself from the elemental report or use a C-Node with anchor at where you want them. I however feel based on your question that pl. work under the guidance of an experienced person.That is going to help you.

Regards

The Global Element Force Report actually gives you the nodal forces that you are looking for. If the same node is shared by two elements then the results will be equal in magnitude and opposite in sign unless a restraint or more elements are involved. To maintain static equilibrium the sum of the forces and moments for each degree of freedom must total zero and the restraint loads figure into this summation.

All input and output in Caesar II takes place at nodes, not elements. This is true even for weight, uniform loads, wind and wave loads, etc., where the total elemental force is split equally between the two nodes defining the element.
