Good evening,
Could you, please, help me to clarify the purpose of "Surface traction" option from post processing menu in Structural Engineering module. I know, that it will give me a reaction force if I use it on constraint boundary.
What kind of loads I will obtain on NOT constraint boundaries if use "Surface traction" option ?
For instance, if I use it on internal surface, whether it gives me loads acting on this boundary? I understand that to obtain a good precision I have to use weak constraint on this boundary, however, by using Surface traction can I obtain at least somewhere near value?
Thank you in advance,
Best,
Artrem
