Beam Forces in Vector Plots

Hello All,

 

how can i output and display beam force vectors in HV for a LS-DYNA model?

 

In the vector plot panel Disp, Vel and Acc are available, but i want to display the force vectors for each beam element too.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

    HI florian_lw

     

    It is possible that LS dyna outputs 1d forces as a scalar quantity, I have seen this in d3plot result files, check to see if there is an (s) next to the 1d forces result type in the contour panel , result type table. 

     

    Please check the LS Dyna manual etc to find the keywords to output force vectors, and then HyperView will populate this result in the vectors panel.
