Example to control stress output position in PBEAM
Altair EmployeeOverview:
When we use PBEAML, it is simple to output stress in pre-defined positions on the section,
As shown above, stress recovery points of C,D,E,F are pre-defined.
However, when we use PBEAM, we have to decide the stress point by YZ coordinate on the section,
We can define up to 4 points, C, D, E and F.
When we do not set them, the default coordinate is set to (0,0) for all positions.
Example 01: no definition
model download:
Since I do not set C, D, E and F. Thus, they are set to (0,0).
Since this is a pure cantilever beam, there is no stress at (0,0). Thus,
BTW, SAC or some chars shown in HyperView has the following meaning.
Example 2: Set C at higher position.
Download the model:
I set Y=1000.0 for C in this model.
Since this is a pure cantilever beam, the stress at this position should be huge.
And here is the result,
