Description

Hi!

The LineSupportReactions have forces and moment along the line. Their respective units are therefore kN/m and kNm/m. And for my case I want to also check the resultants in kN and kNm.
I cant seem to find a logical way to use the API to fetch the associated mesh or segment lengths to this.

A plausible work around could be to use an amount of points supports.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the C# API's LineSupportReaction representation and how line forces and moments are exposed. Determine whether associated mesh or segment lengths are available; done means providing a way to obtain resultants in kN and kNm, or documenting the limitation and supported workaround.
