stresses in global x direction within shell element

stresses in global x direction within shell element

(OP)
Hi,


I'm trying to deduce the stresses in my shell element S4R in the global x-direction.

I requested S11 and S22 in history output but there are large differences for the positive (upper surface) and
negative (bottom surface). Can anyone explain what the correct procedure is?

RE: stresses in global x direction within shell element

In postprocessing you can transform the field output in another coordinate system. Search for "transform" in the A/CAE manual.
Afterwards you can create xy-data based on that new field.
