    Reaction Loads at Connectors

      Maybe you can get something from Free Body Forces,
      but only in CW2007.

          Does anyone know if there is a direct way to determine the loads imposed by connectors in CosmosWorks?

          There is chart of force & moment only for the pin and bolt type connectors; what about all the others like spring and rigid?

          I know that if the faces are flat and orthogonal, I calculate this from the average normal stress times the area but this is quite limiting.
