RE: Abaqus Rotations
Thanks for ur replies.
I am sorry. I should have mentioned that my mesh comprises solely of 10-node modified tetrahedral elements. Is it possible to obtain rotations of the whole element in this case ? If yes, please let me know where I can start.
Thanks
RE: Abaqus Rotations
And I belive the rotational is nodeal based as any element includes the tetrahedral can deform and have different rotation in each side and conner.
If the local element did not strain largly, then the rotation of the element should be the same as the rotation of the node.
RE: Abaqus Rotations
Solid elements such as C3D10M don't have rotational degrees of freedom though so you can't plot them as they don't exist. Rotation is described by the translation of the nodes only so you could calculate the value of rotation by simple trigonometry of the nodal displacements.
