2.4 THE NODAL FORCE PROCESSOR Z88E

A nodal force calculation with Z88E can run only if the deflections were calculated by Z88F or Z88I1 and Z88I2 before. Nodal force calculation is independent of the stress calculation.

The nodal forces are calculated separately for each element . If several elements meet a node, one gets the complete nodal force for this node by adding the nodal forces of all accessing elements. This results are presented in the file Z88O4.TXT, too.

The results of Z88E are presented in the file Z88O4.TXT.
