Dear Community,
I am struggling to find any resources as to how to extract element stresses from a static analysis using tcl.
I am automating a topology optimisation which reduces the volumefraction until a feasible design is reached. Simple. But, I need to determine whether the maximum allowable stress has been reached. All I want to do is make an advanced query in hyperview, set the stress to be higher than let's say 150MPa and write the elements into a .csv file.
Does someone know a solution for this problem?
Kindest regards and I dearly hope someone can help because I've spend weeks reading through forums, the user manual and guides,
Luca
