Showing Plate and Beam Stress Results Simultaneously

Showing Plate and Beam Stress Results Simultaneously

Showing Plate and Beam Stress Results Simultaneously

(OP)
Is there a way to display the contoured stress results of both plate and beam elements, simultaneously. My first assumption is no, given that the two results are categorized by two completely different Contour Styles.

Thanks in advance,

RE: Showing Plate and Beam Stress Results Simultaneously

Yes, I think there is a way. You have to look in the post process tab/window for second contour or second criteria and not the popup you access from the toolbar. If I recall correctly, you only get one set of levels though, so outputs have to be in the same range.

Not sitting in front of Femap now, but I recall doing this in training.

RE: Showing Plate and Beam Stress Results Simultaneously

What you're looking for is a check box labelled "Additional Vector(s)" in the post processing toolbox. You can actually specify two additional vectors once you check that box.

RE: Showing Plate and Beam Stress Results Simultaneously

Dear Cheyne,
Click "F5 > Criteria > Deformed & Contour Data > Multiple Contour Vectors" and select output vector results for both Plate & Beam, this way you will be allowed to plot bot results simulatenously, using elemental resuls. But if you try to plot nodal stress contours for both plate & beam elements simultaneously, not possible at the moment. But the good news is that FEMAP developers will do the job for sure, I don't know exactly if in 11.1 next month or next one.
Best regards,
Blas.
