Output Total Force on a Straight Line

SBS's picture

 

Dear All,

 I am using ANSYS 13.0 APDL to simulate a elastic model to calculate stress intensity factor. I got the solution successfully. However, I want to verify the answer with theoretical solution from crack analysis handbook. So I need to output the total force on a straightline. 

 I had tried to check the force on each node on the line. But the value is varying and different from each other. So I hope to figure out the total force on this line. Should I just sum up all the nodal force on this line? Or is there any other way to output the total force? 

I had also tried to define the path. But there is no way to output total force on this path. Any one can help? 

 

Thank you very much in advance.
