Question

Difference between contact force and reaction force in solidworks motion simulation

Answer 1

I think know what free body and reaction forces are in theory, but I'd like a little corroboration. Can someone give me a breakdown of how they apply to the List Result Force tool? I want to be able to make sense of the numbers without making any false assumptions about what I'm looking at. For example, what would be the best way to extract the force imposed on a particular section of a model, free body or reaction?
