Measure reaction forces in joints and bearings

Hi!
I built a model in SimMechnics 2G. It seems to work quite good :)
Is there a way to measure the reaction forces or the constraining forces?
For example, you have a simple revolute joint that doesnt move in the world frame. How can I measure the force that is required, due to Newtons 3. law, to hold the joint in place?
Thanks!
Best regards Philipp

Constraint forces (also referred to as reaction forces) were added to Simscape Multibody in R2014a. Joint block dialog boxes provide a new expandable parameter list, Composite Force/Torque Sensing, in which you can select Constraint Force/Torque and Total Force/Torque.
