Details of integration points
Details of integration points
(OP)
If somebody can tell me how to get the locations at the integration points of an element and stress and strain at each of them (inside a perticular element not the closest to a node as given in the manual), it will be very helpful.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.





RE: Details of integration points
1- the locations of the integration points are known once the nodal locations are known and also of course the element formulation. This info I think you can find in the Theory Manual.
2- This is a thing you can ask directly to ANSYS (plot/list stresses at integration points directly transfered to the nodes), but I never tried to "*GET" this with the APDL command.

yes, I believe so. The dimensionless form should be the most useful, I think, but it depends how you prefer to handle coordinates' matrices...
