Solid elements rotations in FEA
Thanks for your response, I am asking about the rotations of elements used to evaluate the shear strains of solid elements. I wanna calculate them in femap software just like I get those for plate elements.- HA649

Solid elements rotations in FEA
Thanks for your response, I am concerned with these derivates evalutation in Femap, NASTRAN by which the strains are evaluated as these derivates also represent rotation of elements (Shear strain is angular distortion of elements) once deformed in linear static analysis. When I plot R1, R2 & R3...- HA649

Solid elements rotations in FEA
Hello the respected engineering community, I am currently solving a linear static anlaysis problem in Femap, NASTRAN with the aim of getting rotations of solid elements after structural deformation just like I get that in shell elements with no success. I know the fact that solid elements have...- HA649
