element stresses in nx 7.5.4.4
element stresses in nx 7.5.4.4
(OP)
Hi there,
trying to do some stress analysis in NX7.5 Design Simulation and noticed the 'stress-elemental' values are missing from the results. Strain at element centroids and nodes are included as normal. Tried adding extra output request to the solver options (cubic or corner), but that didn't solve it. Any help much appreciated pointing me in the right direction.
Cheers,
John

RE: element stresses in nx 7.5.4.4
If you are using linear elements rather than parabolic then no 'stress-elemental' output is written just the element nodal result.
It wasn't like this in NX6 where both results were written and shouldn't be like it in NX8 (although I haven't checked).
The only way round this is to change to parabolic elements or NX8.
Hope that helps.
