hey paulo..
Try read Basic of FEA for Frame Element,which Mxy is result from torsion.
You will get Normal,Torsion,Moment local Forces by multiplying matrix BNE with local displacement. By the way Normal,torsion, and moment global is found from multipyed Matrix BNE x MAtrix Transformation...
Why dont you go with FEAPpv , the FEA program from Taylor. I have tested 10000 node with no problemo, it has viewer too. FEAP now has some elements in to it including finite strain, mixed strain, and some ortho materials. Go for google and type feappv, a personal version of FEAP
Yes MAtlab now...
Hi GJS if you have ansys interactive you might change it to /PREP7 input ASCII so Patran can easiliy read it via executing Utilities/General/Read ANSYS prep7file on (MSC.Patran v8.0 under Windows NT for example) read_ansysm.plb FEM S2 Student: ABQ,NAS,COS,ANS,MAR,SAP,

I think FEMAP (until 8 version) has some defect on translating to Ansys PREP. Some of i know are :
1. GXY still exporting to Ansys while in isotropic material condition, which Ansys reject it.
2. Non-Linear function is not equivalent (stress-strain) if weread again using ansys interactive (5.4...
It needs Win2000. It you have big memory sticks beware on AMD motherboards sometimes hung..like VIA chipsets. I've hung using KT133A chipset. Intel chipset like BX or later can support bigger memories. Installing Patran2000 is painful. From now i dont have idea how to connect FrameViewer Help to...
Belondo,
What do you use for mesher? Patran, Hypermesh, FEMAP, or your defined ? I am using Femap and i am always getting all stress out (iam reading the stress via FEMAP too). I'ts probably because your model 2D (solid mechanics). FEM S2 Student: ABQ,NAS,COS,ANS,MAR,SAP,

I am sorry, i am studying error estimate. Can Ansys output the stress that had not been averaged/projected ?
Can we choose if whether stress on nodal was averaged by average/projection ?
Thanks anyway FEM S2 Student: ABQ,NAS,COS,ANS,MAR,SAP,

I suggest you mesh the solid using femap, tranfer to staad. from staad file tranfer to sap2k via staad2sap translator. (bundled sap2k in some version). SAP8 now support mesh solid....
