How to get Nodal Force Reaction
I am trying to write a script get the force reaction (and moment reaction) at each node of a specific region of a 2D body in workbench. The goal is to do calculations with individual force reactions for each node. When I try to use results data, I get values that are like 10e308. When I have tried to use DPF, I am getting all 0s, even when I probe them and see that there is a reaction force. Can you do this in workbench? Also, are there any good sources for dpf documentation? The few I have found are not great
Additionally, I have the idea to use an APDL command to this, is there a way to call an apdl command (either in the tree or just include it in my python script) and give it the node number and then have it return the force reaction value?
I am using 2023 R1 and I cant use PyMAPDL or PyDPF because when I pip install ansys.dpf.core and ansys-mapdl-core, it makes my computer blue screen.
This is what I have tried

Hi @bobbyBones this seems like a duplicate of your other post https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/4813/dpf-scripting-to-get-nodal-force-reaction#latest . Can you confirm if so and I can delete this post.
