Element nodal force in FEM

Submitted by sbbehravesh on

Hello every one,

I'm wondering if any body knows how does ABAQUS (or ANSYS) calculate "element nodal force" (not unique nodal force)? According to ABAQUS manual I just know that it is obtained from element stress. I couldn't find the procedure of calculation in ABAQUS help and manuals.

Thank you so much,

Behzad
