Thanks, rb1957.
I tried with a rectangular plate in x-y plane with edges fixed and a single force applied in -z direction. I get the same stresses for both top and bottom plate hence I can't tell which side is the top; I'm expecting different stresses for two sides of an element.
Can I use...
Hi,
I have an inquiry about how to define which side of a plate element is the top and which is the bottom when checking stresses. Can someone help me please?
Thank you.
