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 only translations in their formulation but as I am able to get shear strains of the solid elements which are based on the rotation of the elements I think there should be a way to get rotations in solid elements once it get deformed. Any guidance will be highly appreciated.
