reaction force not showing up in postprocessing - help!!!

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all:

I am modeling the insertion of a probe into a cube. The problem I am having in post processing is that using point evaluation on vertices or boundary integration on the probe boundaries, the reaction force is always zero (in the z-direction of insertion).

I am looking for the resistance force that the probe is experiencing during the insertion - this is the reaction force right?
Also, for those points on the surface of and into the cube that are not part of the geometry, I cannot do point evaluation of any parameters on those points, any idea why?

This problem is a bottleneck for me right now so please help!! I am attaching a simple version of this simulation.

Thank you,

Joe
