Hi Ansys lovers! ;-)
I posted about 3 questions here in the last few days and your answers were highly helpful. But today I've got one more... I'm using Solid46 elements in Ansys to modelize a laminated plate (4 plies), in order to reproduce an experience I found in an article. I know all the parameters (material, loading conditions, boundary conditions) but I don't get the same results as in the article. More precisely, the plate is in tension along its length and I want to plot the Z-stress (through thickness) distribution along the width of the plate, at the interface between plies 3 and 4. My idea is that I don't extract data with the right procedure: I plot SZ along the y-axis, but I don't understand how to extract data for a specific interface.
For information, the plate has 4 plies, 1 element through thickness and consequently, no nodes into the thickness. If someone could help me...
