Dec 6, 2008 #1 maxibonne Mechanical Oct 5, 2008 29 MT I am plotting a path, and then extracting the stresses acting along this path. My question is: Are these stresses that I extract given in local or in global coordinates? Many thanks

Dec 10, 2008 #3 Stringmaker Mechanical Mar 18, 2005 513 US TGS4 is correct. Component stresses will depend on the RSYS. And of course derived stress quantities such as principal and equivalent stress are independent of which RSYS is used. Upvote 0 Downvote
