Membrane, bending and peak stresses from von Mises

Membrane, bending and peak stresses from von Mises

(OP)
Hello everyone,

I’m using Patran 2013 and the MSC.Nastran solver.
For a 3D pipe assembly, I calculated the von Mises stresses.
Now I need to calculate the membrane, bending and peak stresses from the von Mises stresses and
evaluate these stresses due to a given standard specification.
In ANSYS there are special scripts included to automatically calculate the membrane, bending and peak stresses.
Now I wonder whether there is a possibility to also automatically calculate these stresses in Patran 2013.
In case it is not possible, would someone perhaps have an idea/guide material for the manual calculation of these stresses for 3D elements?

Kind regards
Fite
