Element 2D Stresses
 |
Description
2D Projected Stress result values
Note: This is a dropdown component and input/output may vary depending on the selected dropdown
Input parameters
 | Result List | Result | Result |
 | List | Element/Member filter List | Filter the Elements or Members by list. (by default 'all') Element/Member list should take the form: 1 11 to 20 step 2 P1 not (G1 to G6 step 3) P11 not (PA PB1 PS2 PM3 PA4 M1) Refer to help file for definition of lists and full vocabulary. |
 | Integer | Stress Layer | Layer within the cross-section to get results. Input an integer between -1 and 1, representing the normalised thickness, default value is zero => middle of the element. |
| Integer | Axis | Standard Axis: Global (0), Local (-1), Natural (-2), Default (-10), XElevation (-11), YElevation (-12), GlobalCylindrical (-13), Vertical (-14) |
Output parameters
 | Unit Number Pressure Tree | Stress XX | * Stress in XX-direction |
| Unit Number Pressure Tree | Stress YY | * Stress in YY-direction |
| Unit Number Pressure Tree | Stress ZZ | * Stress in ZZ-direction |
| Unit Number Pressure Tree | Stress XY | * Stress in XY-direction |
| Unit Number Pressure Tree | Stress YZ | * Stress in YZ-direction |
| Unit Number Pressure Tree | Stress ZX | * Stress in ZX-direction |
* DataTree organised as { CaseID ; Permutation ; ElementID } fx. {1;2;3} is Case 1, Permutation 2, Element 3, where each branch contains a list of results in the following order: Vertex(1), Vertex(2), ..., Vertex(i), Centre +ve in-plane stresses: tensile(ie. + ve direct strain). +ve bending stress gives rise to tension on the top surface. +ve shear stresses: +ve shear strain.
