Subject: Reaction solution is coming zero
Author: Varun Agarwal

Hello Everybody,
I have mesh imported from Patran for a long cylindrical bar shaped
component.
The meshing is done is solid45 --- et,1,45
I have written constraint equations using CERIG at each end of the bar.
For this I have made a node at the geometical centre of each end surface and
made a mass element(21) at this node.
Then I have chosen the nodes on the surface and the master node and
connected them using
CERIG,Masternode,all,all

Now I have applied displacement constraints at one of the master nodes
d,masternode1,all,0

And force at the masternode on the other end.
f,masternode2,fy,100

After the solution is done ,all the results can be reviewd normally &
easily.
Except the Reaction Solution at the constrained node which is coming ZERO.

Please help me is understanding this.

Also I have seen that If I make the geometry in ANSYS and mesh it in ANSYS
and repeat the same procedure
I do get the Reaction solutions easily.

Regards,

Varun Agarwal
