    Stress in midside nodes of plane 8-node elements

    Hi It is not possible to get the midside nodal stress values for a plane 8-node element in ansys apdl. Ive read in other forums that this is because the data is redundant. Do you agree and if so, why? The displacements are of a quadratic formulation, but isn't that also true for stress. I...

    Highly stressed volume approach in ANSYS apdl

    Hi all at Eng-tips I i'm getting better and better at the apdl-language, even though i still think its a bit daunting. I've started to work on a technique to extract the highly stressed volume in a component for fatigue life assessment. In short, the highly stressed volume of the component...

    Getting different 1st principal stress results with apdl script and workbench

    Hi L_K Thank you for your input! I just checked, they both output the same 3.3986e-002. Using the following command: *get, my_04, node, HS_nodenum1, U, sum and the "Total deformation" on the vertex at the same node.

    Getting different 1st principal stress results with apdl script and workbench

    Hi I have a simulation where i use a *get command to extract stress from a specific node. When i check my result with the "Maximum Principal Stress" using a stress probe option in the vertex at the node, i am getting a different result. the GET command used is: *get, HS_10, node, HS_nodenum2...

    Extracting stress in intersecting points of bodies

    One problem i have is if i have to change the code and rerun the analysis i get this error: "The solution was executed using only post commands information. Check the Post Output on the Solution Information object for more details" My it can be fixed by clearing all result data and rerun...

    Extracting stress in intersecting points of bodies

    Hi Jason Thank you for a fast and accurate response. I modded the code to exactly fit my purpose: ! Find first node of interest 0.4*t from the weld cmsel, s, line1 cmsel, r, line2 *get, nodenum1, node, 0, num, min ! Find second node of interest 1*t from the weld cmsel, s, line2 cmsel, r...

    Extracting stress in intersecting points of bodies

    Hi I've setup this model in Ansys workbench. It's a 2D model, and it has been sliced and combined in Designmodeler to make the mesh comply to the specified lines. I would like to extract the stress in this intersection (Marked by the two green dots), but i'm getting an error: "You have a result...
