(OP)
hi,

i perform a sandwich plate with shell 91. I solve the analysis and i want use the Von mises resut as scalar parameters. but the value of the result is doesn't the same that the result given by the model.
let me explain my procedure

the result of the model for the von mises stress equivalent is:
SMN=.577+e07
SMX=.876e+07

to obtain the scalar parameters:

general postproc/element table/define table
>add
>stress, Von Mises SEQV
>OK
Sum of each item
>ok

surprise

 SUM ALL THE ACTIVE ENTRIES IN THE ELEMENT TABLE

 TABLE LABEL     TOTAL
 SEQV      0.276206E+12

I don't understand why i haven't the same value that the result analysis ????.

Can you explain me, please. Thank you
