Beam: dispaly shear stress

Altair Forum User

Hi. How I would like to display the shear stresses on the beam. I have tried searching on control cards --> global output request but I haven't found anything.

Hi Mirino,

 

Have you defined stress recovery points on PBEAM?

 

you must define the stress recovery points (C D E F) in the PBEAM card to extract the results.The stress recovery point location is different for different beam/bar cross section. 

 

Please refer to PBEAm/PBAR, PBEAML/PBARL card for more information.

How to find shear stress and bending stress after defining C D E F?

Altair Forum User

Hi,

When you load h3d result file in HyperView, you can see a new result type like 'CBAR/CBEAM Stresses (BAR)', 'BAR' in the parentheses is the type name of beam cross section. That means each cross-section type has its own result group. 
And you can review all the evaluation stresses (normal, shear, and von Mises) for each cross-section type, at each element end (A or . 

For instance, 
Normal S3N(B) : means normal stress at the 3-th evaluation point of the beam element end B;
Shear S6S(A) : means shear stress at the 6-th evaluation point of the beam element end A;
von Mises S5V(B) : means von Mises stress at the 5-th evaluation point of the beam element end B. 

And you can see maximum normal/shear/vonMises stress at the end.

Hi,

 

I'm currently working on a solid. Is there a similar card as PBEAM for the solids in order to get the shear stress? In fact I cannot find any PBEAM or CBAR card on my hypermesh model..

 

Thank you,

For solid elems, assign a PSOLID property

You have to load Optistruct user profile

Hi tinh,

 

Thanks you for your answer. Is it really impossible to get the shear stress with Radioss? I have been working so far only with Radioss..

Please ask RADIOSS forum

Look for it before asking.
