internal loads
internal loads
(OP)
I have a 3d- square box structure which is pulled frm one end and fixed the other end. Suppose I want the internal loads or the nodal force along the interface i.e; edge connecting one side to the other..how do i get it? I understand that the total nodal forces or the total internal load would be zero to satisfy equilibrium. is there any way to find out the nodal force as it does show nodal stresses? thanks

I use NASTRAN and the "GPFORCE" command request grid point force balance (ordered by adjacent elements) at selected grid points.
Besides, PATRAN allows you to plot results in fringe's elements.
I hope it be useful (maybe I haven't caught your idea)
