Actually, the mesh shows in this picture is not what I used, because there is a version limits of nodes number on my own computer. I use C3D10M(only can use Tet for the beam).
For example， I use the ball to press the glass beam, I know the critical stress of fracture for glass is about 70Mpa. So that means every node what I measure must small than this critical stress(70Mpa)? So just like the photo shows, the max., mid. and min. Principal stress must small than 70Mpa...
I just want to know, must I define the constraint(the third button in interaction)？
Because when I don't do this step, I find only the ball moves, but the beam don't bend. It's confused
Hello, I want to know the principal stress each nodal, and i get the result like this:
When I change the position to Integration Pt, the result is 9.70905 (Unit is Mpa). I understand, each element is under the force of other eight cubic-elements, so the ''Integration Pt'' is just like the...
