Stress Paths in APDL
Stress Paths in APDL
(OP)
Searched this site for info on how to find the stress along a path within a body using ANSYS APDL and still none the wiser.
I need to use APDL rather than workbench because I am developing a python script that should hopefully conduct and record my analyses automatically. My model is rather basic structure with bolt running down centre, key dimensions alter with each analysis. I want to find stress at midpoint of the bolt so figured a stress path would be best?
Could someone advise me how best to go about this please?
Thankyou

Is there a way that I can give a start coordinate and an 'until end of body' or 'through all' type end point?
Thanks

My apologies for the poor quality sketch, all I can give at the time. The stress path shall be along the bolt length, I am interested in the value at the midpoint of the threaded part of the bolt
There are many variables that change, hence why entering co-ordinates is not ideal.
Thanks
