# 3.6.5: Reaction Forces 🔷

![Fig. 3.6.5.1: Beam under axial & transverse point-loads: Reaction forces and moments for both load-cases](https://1646753513-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M9XteyGDAU3Odla53cC%2Fsync%2F7eaf5fd19acd8df1ba07b88e9938dde7e9959dcb.png?generation=1591871195372206\&alt=media)

The **“Reaction Forces”**-component gives access to the reaction forces and moments at supports. It expects a model at its input-plug and returns via **“RF”** and **“RM”** a list containing reaction forces in $$kN$$ and reaction moments in $$kN m$$ as three dimensional vectors. The input-plug **“LCase”** sets the load-case index for which the results shall be output. All support reactions are ordered in such a way that the indexes of the nodes they attach to form an ascending sequence. In case of locally oriented supports, reaction forces refer to the local coordinate system. **“Pos”** returns the position of the supports in the same order as the results. **“SumRF”** and **“SumRM”** offer the possibility to check the resultant reaction moments and forces of each load-case.
