The parameters Force Fx, Fy, and for PLAXIS 3D Fz, are the total reaction forces of the applied prescribed displacements in the respective direction. Note that if more than one prescribed displacement is used, Fx, Fy and Fz are the sum of the reaction forces of all prescribed displacements.

These Fx, Fy and Fz are also shown during the calculation in the calculation progress window:
