How can I create a graph showing the XX 2D Element Force at each coordinate location
I want to create a XY plot where the X is the Y location of the element and the Y is the 2D Element Forces. I know that would be doable using the extract data tool, but that only works with solid elements while my model is mostly shell elements.
Example from Patran:

Hello Raoul
In Hyperview , We have a measure tool that can measure distances, positions and nodal/element contours.
Documentation :
This is an example of measuring element contour vs time and nodal position vs time using the measure tool :
Once the two plots are created you can use Hypergraph to plot Position as X-axis and Result Value as Y-axis using the existing plots. (Press Shift and curve to select the plot from window ) which will give curve in the form p1w2c1.x . Use p1w2c1.y which represents the Page 1 ->Window 2 -> Curve 1-> Y vector . I am sharing a session file with plots for review.
