Stress Value in Integration Points

Reza Karshenas

Hello everyone, 

I have selected Hexa20 elements with 2order for my meshing and want to see the exact stress in Hyperview not only on the surface but also in integration points in elements. Does anyone know how this is possible? 

Best regards

thanks for help. I'm using optistruct as solver.

You could also use the Linearization Tool

Hello,

Which solver are you interested in? I am going to assume this will be solver dependent and relying on the type of output as well.

For example here is the help for Results at Position - Integration Points for Abaqus

By default the stress will output at the element centroid. However you can request corner data and/or see the stress at the nodes (corner and mid).

What do you mean by integration points?

Here is the help for nodal averaging

The integration points are exactly the points specified in the help documentation you sent. I got the correct answer with your helps and recommendations. Thanks
