Dear all,

Forgive if this is a stupid question . How to determine load on support by using local element force instead of restrain report? please see node 20 which has restrain run in X global direction.

Is the load on support node 20 in X global 74 N? instead of 37 N, -287623 N or 287549 N?

I mean if we sum -287623 + 287549 = -74 N and 37+37 = 74 N. The same for Y and Z global. Please advice from FEM side.
