Total strain energy of a part

Altair Forum User

I need to find the total strain energy of each component in my FEA model. Is there any tutorial about it?

Hi @smare104

 

Can you please check if this script helps?

 

Make sure you have strain energy output in your deck.

Thank you Prakash. I do have strain energy as my output. But I don't know how to use this script to get what I want?

Is there any more explanation about how it works?

 

Thanks,

Make sure you have scripting toolbar active. Please see the attached video on how to use the script.
