Hi,

I am trying to make a stress linearization in FEMAP with NX Nastran v11.0.1.
Is there a tool in FEMAP for that like in ANSYS and ABAQUS?
Thanx in advance

what does "stress linearisation" mean ?

I want to make a separation of stresses through a section into constant membrane and linear bending stresses. I want to specify the section as a path through my model, and I want FEMAP to display the linearized stresses in the form of an X–Y plot. I have attached an example plot from ANSYS. How can I do this in FEMAP?

what a confusing graph ! ... i understand "membrane" and "bending+membrane" and "total" ... but i don't see what's being added to "membrane+bending" to get "total" ?

maybe blaise (a regular poster from spain) can help you with this one ... i know there are several data plots you can do

Hi BlasMolero,
Is this Stress linearization tool a free update or does it cost something?

Dear VonFea,
Not cost, is an internal development of FEMAP team, I suppose soon or later will be part of regular FEMAP release, to get a copy contact your Valued Add Reseller of FEMAP.
Best regards,
Blas.

So this tool only works with solid elements [neutral]
Blas, do you know if they are going to make this tools to work with shell elements as well?
