LsDyna - Nodal Moments
LsDyna - Nodal Moments
(OP)
Dear all,
Can you please tell me if it is possible to output nodal moments in LS Dyna? I made a set of nodes, and with NODAL FORCE GROUP I can get the forces on those nodes. But I also need the nodal moments.

Bilim

I have beam elements.
RE: LsDyna - Nodal Moments
You have to use database_history_node_id/set for this. nodal_force_group will only output the forces and not moments.
RE: LsDyna - Nodal Moments
I will try and let you know. Thanks :)

Can you not make a cross section at locations where you want the moment info and use secforc database to get them ? Or you can ask in the LSDyna yahoo user group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LS-DYNA/) . There's not a lot of dyna users here.
RE: LsDyna - Nodal Moments
I will try both of your suggestions, both the secforc and the yahoo group.
Thanks,
