torsional static analysis with ansys

(OP)
Dear all,
I need to perform a static analysis of a solid, "complex" shaped parts designed with ProE, meshed with SOLID element.
The question is: I can visualize tensile stress and von mises stress, but I need to know also the shear stress and rotation displacements.
Is it possible with solid elements? I cannot find a solid element with 6dof, how could it be?
Please answer it's urgent and I don't knwo how to solve this problem!
thanks!

RE: torsional static analysis with ansys

Solid elements with rotational degrees of freedom are very labour intensive. For this reason they do not (yet) exist. Also, with nodes with directional degrees of freedom the element is sufficiently defined.

What you could do is evaluate displacement of two (or more) adjacent nodes and calculate the rotation.

Or define a beam element or shell element (with rotation), overlay a surface of the solid elements, and extract the rotation from this. Make sure that the element is less stiff than the solid element.
