Overview

Automates force plot from dyna (can be adjusted to any solver HG reads) time history to plot axial vs shear resultant forces with inputs of beam ids from user in a text file. before plotting hg auto loads a limits curve before loading the force plot.

Usage/Installation Instructions

Run the tcl. The path to the mvw file is hard coded. So you need to adapt it as per your machine before running it Attached report template (ELOUTreport.tpl) takes absolute axial force.

    Hi Chayan Basak, i want to extract the forces for Beam in Abaqus explicit (local dir - axial and share forces), is it possible to extract the same.

    thanks
