Hi,

 

I am currently carrying out a 1D beam analysis. My results and the contour on my beam seems patchy and unclear. 

 

I have attached the file of the beam and results for you to understand. 

 

It is a distributed load of 150N between 32mm-109mm and 222mm-299mm.

 

Could you please tell me how to make the contour line more visible. I have tried to change the range, but it did not make a difference. 

 

Thank you,

 

Yousif

    Hi,

    Is this result you expect?

     

    you should use PBEAML with standard optistruct beamsection C

    and distribute forces by PLOAD1

    Hi Yousif,

    I see element id 1 was the reason for patchy and unclear results(it was through from one end to another end).Just delete & rerun.PFA displacement plot for FYR.

    Oh, I thought it is due to graphic problem. because when I open h3d file directly, it is not patchy

     

    when I open hyperview via menu button 'View' on optistruct solver window, it is always patchy.

    Hi tinh,

     

    Could you send me the hm model of the result. That is the exact result I wanted. Thank you.
