Originally posted by derne058 December 12, 2024 Hi all,

I am interested in retrieving all the loads applied on an FE model in Pymapdl. Is there a command that returns nodal loads, surface loads, surface element loads and so on?

More importantly:

In the "Enriched Command Output" section of the PyMAPDL Documentation Page listing of the D (boundary conditions on nodes) and F (forces applied to nodes) have an extra method in their listing. To create a Python list of the node IDs and values, or a dataframe. It would be nice if this idea was extended to the other types of loads (hint @germa89).

Which loads getter do you think we should implement first @mikerife ??
