how to sum elements strain energy

Mirhan Özdemir_21816

Hi to all,

I have a large h3d file that contains element strain energy values. Since there are many mesh elements in the model, I cannot export element strain energy values from query to csv file. Is there any script or easy way to sum the elements' strain energy to find the total strain energy?

Thank you.

I suggest you to look at the post 

Modal Analyses: Efficient Design Modifications using HyperWorks from @Leonardo Rosa where there is a section (video) showing how to use Result Math in HV for the summation of kinetic and strain energy.

Thanks and regards
