Hello,

 

I have a component as seen below. I'm struggling to find out how to, if possible, plot of graph of Shear Stress vs Displacement.

 

By using a node path you only get stress at that node however I need something more complex.

 

I need to average the total stress for elements in the x and z axis at certain y displacements. Then plot, y displacement vs Shear stress average plane.

 

Still confused? See diagram 2 below for example.

I need to average all the elements in their specific colour, then plot the y displacement (1->6) vs shear stress (average colour).

 

Hope your able to help.

 

I'm using Optistruct as my solver

    Please look into in script exchange for this requirement. Check with 'average' keyword or script id 1262.
