Shell Tensile Test

Hello Forum users

I am new to Code aster. So I am trying to set up a simple elastic tensile test with Coque_3D elements before going to a more complex geometry and plasticity. I would like to extract a deplacement over force curve, like in experimental tensile tests. For that I would need the Nodal forces on the pulling end (press1 in my case). For some reason that is not working. I have come so far with the help of many tutorials provided by you in small steps, but with the forces I couldnt find a solution alone. I would be very glad for advice, also on how to generate the data for the curve.

Many thanks

In the Message file I get the following warning when trying to calculate the Forc_Noda:

Champ inexistant DEPL numero d'ordre FORC_NODA pour le calcul de l'option xxxxxxx !

Does anybody know how to fix this warning to receive the Nodal Forces?
