nodal force abaqus

Do I need to transform the coordinate system when obtaining nodal force in nonlinear buckling analysis with Abaqus

Submitted by Linqi on

Dear all, 

   I am using ABAQUS  to perform the nonlinear buckling study of composites right now,  I am also trying to use Virtual Crack Closure Technique(VCCT) to study the strain energy release rate. However,here I have some questions regarding to obtain the nodal force and nodal displacement.

1. Could anyone give me some ideas how to obtain nodal force in Abaqus?
