How to calculate percentage error in the energy norm for a selected set of elements

Gabriele

Hello,

 

Does anybody know how to calculate the percentage error in the energy norm for a selected set of elements? Ansys provides a tool called SEPC (obtained from the PRERR command). I am interested on how to do it via Optistruct solver. I am a Hyperworks 12 user.

 

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Hi,

You can only check Plastic strain ...stabilization  for contact. To check percentage errors for this energy

You can check Stain energy by contact stabilization in  e.nlm file . And multiply with 100 for %.
