Ansys 13 - Finding Envelope Stresses
Ansys 13 - Finding Envelope Stresses
(OP)
I have an FE model in Ansys 13.0 Multiphysics utility which has 48 Load Steps. I want to find the envelope von mises stresses for each node in the model (absolute maximum value at each node out of the 48 runs), but I am not sure exactly how to do that.
I found a macro on the ansys website which finds a single absolute maximum stress value for the entire model, but I don't want that, I want a maximum value for each node. Could someone please tell me if/how this can be done?
I have attached the macro that I found on the ansys website.
Much appreciated!

RE: Ansys 13 - Finding Envelope Stresses
I'm sure it can be done shorter and cleaner but I'm brushing up on my APDL skills
The results will be written to stresses.txt
I've added a third column to indicate the load step in which the maximum von mises stress is achieved.
