Plain Strain Analysis and stress distribution

federicouriati

Hi,

I need to perform a plain strain analysis on a 2d specimen with 5mm thickness and 22 lenght and 7 height, but when in the results i try to observe the principal stress distribution in the z direction it doesn't show any value. 

I'm using pshell , and the settings are MID2 -1 and MID3 blank.

What i'm doing uncorrectly?

 

Thanks!

Hi Federicouriati,

 

Is it possible to share the solver deck (.fem file) which you are using for this analysis?

 

Thank You
