Hello,

How could I extract the force and displacement results (S11, E11) of all the spring elements in a model? Is it possible to identify the springs through python scripting?

Thank you!
 
Might be easier to save history output for them and then access it in the database:

Code:
*OUTPUT, HISTORY
*ELEMENT OUTPUT, ELSET=SPRINGS
E11, S11

Of course, you have to define that elset with all spring element numbers.
 
Thank you! And how can I define elset? I couldn't find their element numbers. Is there a place to look them up?
 
They will be defined like this:

Code:
*ELEMENT, TYPE=SPRING…

The first number in each data line is element number.

Then you can define an elset like this:

Code:
*ELSET, ELSET=SPRINGS
list_spring_numbers_here

 
Thank you so much!
