Hi,

I am currently performing nonlinear static analyses (geometrical, and material). I need to plot values with regards to time (loading steps). I have been using this type of plots for shell elements for some time already, but am unable to plot anything (strain, stress, equivalent plastic strain…) from a PSOLID element.

Here is how I am proceeding :

Open the "Plots" window (1)
Select an element (2)
Select the value to be plotted (3) (or 3 before 2)
Select component(s) and layer(s) (4 & 5)
Click apply (6)

When using this process for shells, a new window pops up with the plots, but when I select a PSOLID element, I only get the following window :

Any idea on how to proceed to plot values with regards to time for PSOLID elements ?

Thanks !

could you try this other approach using Measurements? Later plotting the measure as a curve.
