I have a simple model with cohesive element in lap shear test i put a section on a midlle oh hexa elment

if i plot force from rbo that pull the specimen i get some data , therefore in i plot th/section all data is 0.

Does Radioss not support section made with cohesive element?

tks.

    Hi

    The connect element has only three "strain" components - traction/compression in normal (Z) direction (thickness direction) and both transverse shears XZ and YZ. Actually, in-plane shear, as well as lateral tractions/compressions does not give any resistance forces. It's a pure "connection" element and is not intended to be used in independent way. 

     

    If you need to check /SECT forces, i suggest create section on the one of specimens parts.

    Hi,

    Yes, you can create a section on any specimens and check /SECT forces.
