Moment Distribution In bent pipe modelled with Shell 181 element

Moment Distribution In bent pipe modelled with Shell 181 element

Moment Distribution In bent pipe modelled with Shell 181 element

(OP)
I am modelling a pipe bent on a reel and studying the stress and strain distribution, I have obtained a solution to the model, but I am having difficulties getting the bending moment in the pipe so that I can validate if the moment at buckling is same with code provisions. The pipe was modeeled with Shell 181 element for large deformations.


Please does anyone know how I can get the Moment distribution in a bent pipe.

Thanks.
