Split line?

Split line?

Split line?

(OP)
I am working with a closed end tube that I would like to perform a Cosmosworks FEA on.  I am interested in seeing stress and deflection along the inside edge of the tube.  Is there a way to create either a split line or just a sketched line that I can use to pick points off of in FEA?  Hopefully this makes sense.  Thanks.

RE: Split line?

You might have better success in the Cosmos fora forum1183

(OP)
I'm hitting both forums.  There is not a lot of action on the Cosmos forum.  Thought there might be some insight here.

RE: Split line?

When you say the inside edge of the tube what exactly do you mean?  Have you considered using the section clipping options in the results folder for your analysis?
