Hello to everybody,

 

i want to ask, if it´s possible to get the results from the grid point forces in a local coordinate system?

I defined a CORD3R and added the ID of the systeme to field 7 of the grid point with the needed forces. But in HyperView all grid point forces were in the global directions. What did i wrong?

 

Thanks and grettings.

    When plotting it with HV, select the system at 'Resolved in'

    Thanks for your help. Now it works fine.

     

    In which unit are the gridpoint element forces? Are they consistant to the units i used in my inputdeck?
    I applied a force of 2330N on a rbe2 in the middle between two nodes, so the reaction force on the nodes should be around 1165N at each node. But there is only around 55 on each node in Hyperview.

    In the pch-file are the right results.

    I thinh gpf is N whilevelem force is N/mm

    For rbe2 you should out put spc, mpc forces.
