[Paraview] How to extract a free-body-diagram type force and moment summary for a subset of model

[Dennis Conklin]

All,

Sometimes it is helpful to take a subset of a real world problem and create a lab specimen of that subset and subject it to realistic loadings in order to replicate the real world problem.     Many times we have tried to cut an internal chunk out of a solid mechanics FEA model and determine an appropriate loading to be applied to it in the test lab.

What general procedures would be used in Paraview in order to get these type of (time-varying) loads on the external surfaces of an extracted subset?    I hope I'm not too obscure for anyone to know what I'm asking.

Thanks for any ideas.

Dennis
