Hi, I am running a sol 111 restart and I am using XYPUNCH to output QUAD4 stress components (RM & IP). How do I get the results to be output in the material coordinate system? Normally if I request STRESS(PUNCH)=ALL in my subcases and I use PARAM,OMID,YES in the BULK section, I get the...

The ply stress vs laminate stress was part of the difference but the biggest reason for the plots not correlating was because I was not plotting the stresses in the material coordinate system for the quad4 elements.

Thanks for the quick response SWComposites! That makes sense...I don't know why I had such a brain fart. I'll have to look at my results again a bit closer but that might be it.

Hi, I have two models of laminate cone structure. One model is made of PCOMPS and one model is made of PSHELLS with laminate properties. Both models have identical elements (QUAD4s), boundary conditions and loads...only the element property and material cards are different. When I look at...

Is there a way I could put the parts and spreadsheet in Teamcenter to allow others access and solve my problem?

Thanks for the replies! John, I have an assembly that I am scaling based off of some design calculations and macros in an external spreadsheet. All the calculations are performed in the spreadsheet, it is saved, and then I refresh my parts in UG with a macro to get the new geometry. My...

Hi, I have some parts in UG NX4 containing expressions that are updated from an external spreadsheet. When I use the function "ug_excel_read" I am asked to specify a spreadsheet. When I use the menu to locate the spreadsheet it automatically populates the file path into the function formula...
