Easy way to extract reaction force sum from floor goal?

Hi Dan!
Long time :slight_smile:
I’m trying to do a simple crimp force test for a silicone tube. Is there a simple way to extract the sum of all vertical reaction forces from the floor goal? I’m sure there are many routes to solving this, but I’d be keen to hear yours if you don’t mind.

See sim attached.

Hey Greg,
Good to hear from you.
Here’s one quick way to get the floor reactions without any scripting or changing the goals.
