CBUSH element force extraction

Hi there,
I'm wondering if there's a way for getting the Cbush element forces in both local and global coordinate systems from the .f06 file.

Regards and appreciation,

Cbush forces are defined w.r.t the element coordinates. The axial axis is from grid A to grid B which is considered as x axis. For coincident grid A and grid B user needs to define coordinate for cbush elements.

We cannot get the element forces in different coordinate in a single run. Rather you can use the monitor points to do that

Monitor points can be used to get the specific outputs, these are named by MONPNTi where i is a integer. In your case I believe MONPNT3 can be useful. For more details you can go through the webinar:
