Hello,

If I use a reference point to apply load on a cantilever beam, then I use coupling constraints (uniform weighting method) to constraint the upper edge of the beam with the reference point. The software does the coupling by itself by creating some constraint points and linked it with the reference point. Is there any way that I can know about the exact value of loads those are acting (after distributing from the load applied on the reference point by the software) on the nodes?

Or is there any way to validate this theory of weight distribution I got from the Abaqus documentation? For some cases the summation of weight factors is getting greater than 1 in linear weighting method which is should not be. So I am searching madly how can I solve this issue. Please help me someone!
