Dear all,

 

I'm trying to calculate the membrane, bending and peak stresses after a static calculation with chexa elements.

I'm using GPSTRESS(PUNCH)=1 to obtain the grid point stresses from a header set (ID=1) that contains the grids of my stress classification line.

 

What I see in the punch-file is the follwing (3-grid-stress-classification line):

 

$TITLE   =   (OS 2017.2.4)
$SUBTITLE=  
$LABEL   = C-PROFIL
$GRID POINT STRESSES (PROPERTY      500)
$REAL OUTPUT
$SUBCASE ID =           1
    558868             -2.299386E+02      1.892927E+01     -4.929673E+02
-CONT-                 -1.190178E-03     -1.285024E+01     -3.648179E-03
-CONT-                  2.346589E+02      4.439303E+02

    606938             -8.716614E+01      3.660693E+00     -5.240199E+00
-CONT-                  4.514594E-04     -4.423113E+00     -1.101553E-03
-CONT-                  2.958188E+01      8.705740E+01

 

Questions:

- Which entry is which stress (I probably need need  S11,S22,S33,S12,S13,S23, but I can't assign them)

-How do I calculate the membrane, bending and peak stresses, when I have correctly assigned the stresses?

 

Thanks for your help

Kind regards
