How do I get elemental strain energy output for all elements (2D and 3D as well)?

Hi. My FEM file (optistruct) has 2D and 3D elements. I want the elemental strain energy stored by all the elements and by each component as well. I did ticked the ESE output request box but I am not getting any ESE output in hyperview. May I know how to get ESE output?

    Hello Rachit, 

    This is all you need to do. What type of analysis, linear static?

    Hi Jason. Thanks for your reply. My analysis is 'generic' type. I have already ticked the ESE check box in the load step, as in the screen shot shared with the question, but was not able to get strain energy output in hyperview.

     

    Do you know how to get the strain energy output for the generic case?

     

    Thanks and regards,
