How

I

find

the

total

in-plane

force

(F12)

a

Extended

Question:
...
SAFE
...
reports
...
the
...
resultant
...
in-plane
...
shear
...
force
...
per
...
meter,
...
but
...
how
...
do
...
I
...
calculate
...
the
...
total
...
force
...
across
...
a
...
given
...
width?
...
Answer:
...
Total
...
in-plane
...
shear
...
force,
...
based
...
on
...
F12
...
response,
...
could
...
be
...
estimated
...
by
...
modeling
...
additional
...
area
...
objects
...
along
...
locations
...
where
...
total
...
force
...
is
...
to
...
be
...
observed.
...
Tables
...
and
...
graphical
...
display
...
would
...
then
...
be
...
available.
...
Such
...
an
...
approach
...
is
...
necessary
...
because
...
in-plane
...
shear
...
force
...
is
...
not
...
generated
...
from
...
strip
...
force
...
results.
