How to measure the reaction force acting on the tip when simulate an indentation

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi All,

Recently I want to simulate an indentaion behavior (a spherical indenter penetrate into a film). I preset a displacement of the indenter and I want to measure the reaction force on the indenter. In the end I am looking for reaction force vs displacement data.

I dodn't know how to export or plot the force acting on the indenter. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Rong
