Right-click on Solution (A6) in the Outline tree and select Evaluate All Results.
After completion, click Force Reaction in the Outline to review results.
Note here that the reaction force is found to be 90000 N in the positive Y-direction.
This is because a boundary condition has been applied earlier to the two fixed
ends in one step (see Step 11). To avoid summing of the force reaction, two fixed
conditions can be inserted instead in Step 11, one for each end. The reaction
forces at an individual support can then be displayed by selecting the support
of interest from the drop-down menu of Boundary Condition in the Details
of “Force Reaction”.
