Hello,

 

is it possible to outpute the Elementforce of RBE2 elemens and make a vectorplot like SPCF?

In ControlCards >> Global_Output_Request>> ELFORCE the forceresults are not available for RBE2-Elements.

 

I test a vectorplot of cbeam-elements but it dosn´t work like SPCF....

In ELFOCE i select  FORMAT(1)=H3D and for ELFORCE_V1(1)=all, all other options are blank.

Any mistake?

 

Best regards

BeMa

    Hi BeMa86

     

    ELFORCE is not valid for RBE2/RBE3 elements. Please refer to help for available element types with ELFORCE.

     

    if you have constrained the independent node of RBE2 you can request for SPCFORCE which can be seen in HyperView.
