Node Numbers along a Line
Node Numbers along a Line
(OP)
Hi,
I'm trying to obtain the stress tensor along a straight line, I managed to obtain the stress tensor of all nodes, but I need to know the number of the nodes in order to extract the result. Is there a simpler way to do this? If possible, like a linearized stress, but instead of obtaining membrane, bending etc... I would like the componentes of the tensor SX SY SZ...
Thanks

RE: Node Numbers along a Line
For retreiving node numbers you can use *get comands:
generally
you select a line of interest
nsll, s
*get, node_count, node, 0, count
*dim, node_coord_s,array, node_count,7,
*do,i,1,node_count

I have no experience with mechanical ADPL coding. I'm using Workbench Mechanical and don't know what to do with this code, I tried inserting it on the command prompt on the solution tab, but it did not returned me any results.

What I want is to define a set of points , (x,y,z) and get the stress tensor for each point.
