Contur only loaded to sufrace bodies, not solids.
(OP)
Hi guys,
I'm more Ansys man. But checking Femap for my new project. I did a simple model 2x L-Profile out of surfaces and 2x boxes (solid). L-profile connected by 2 edges to box, box to box, box to second L-profile, all glued, one side fixed, force on second side. Model created in Femap. Silmulations was finised. Only one warning 4690 (FOELCSS) (important? no idea).
How come contur only appears on surface bodies, not on solid boxes. However I see them moving thus taking some loads?

Second thing, What does it mean when midsurface/automatic result is grey, not green as most surfaces?
Cheers,
Mateusz

RE: Contur only loaded to sufrace bodies, not solids.
grey means it has no value for the chosen vector (in this case plate top von mises is a vector associated with 2D elements). to plot results for the solid (3D) plate, looks for solid stress vectors.

True, there is a force in point - I did it to make sure some stress action is in this plate.
Regarding grey color this is a different case and diferent calculation. I meant that after midsurface extraction shell models are green color (youtube tutorials etc.) And for me it apperad partially green (square tubes) partially grey (I-beams). Does it mean something important? Surfaces are not corrupted?
Rgds,

the green shade is the undeformed piece, the grey is the deformed piece (since the nodes have valid deflections) but no valid stress vector to plot.
