Elemental System, Global System, Analysis System

Joel Rodarte

Hello Everyone,

 

I would like to know what is the difference between Elemental System, Global System, Analysis System.

 

I am interested in this since hypermesh allows to extract (strains,stress,element forces etc) from each of these systems. I regularly use the one that is by default 'Element system' but I want to understand what is the difference between them and what can I obtain different of each of them.

Elemental System = private system of each element (see in reference help of CBEAM, CTRIA, CQUAD card)

Analysis system = as solver output.

Global system (you saw it, I am sure)

 

principle values are independent to systems.

Thank you for your help!

 

I was not so wrong then. However i am extracting forces from beams in the matrix browser and when I use Analysisi system to retrieve information I do get information about the magnitude and comonents in them; when I use Elemental System I obtain the magnitude but not the components x and y  (N/A). Do you know why this might happen?

 

Green is by analysis system.

Thank you.

I don't know.

But use analysis sysyem is better, because that is solver output.

by other system, values are calculated from solver output (so errors may happen)

@Joel Rodarte : The efforts of Beam were computed & presented often within elemental system. No sense to get beam efforts within global system.
