element area

[alexzive]

Hello,

I would like to get the element area for any individual element of my irregular 2D mesh.

Is it stored somewhere (in the cae or odb file)?

How to get it via odb scripting commands? (no info in the documentation)

or should I calculate it from nodes coordinates?

Manx Thanks, Alex

Hi

try to output the element variable EVOL and simply divide it by the thickness of your element.
