Extracting Element Stress Output in SOL 101

Hello,

I want to extract element stress for certain element (both solid and shell element types). Is there a way that I can define my element numbers (in a set or anything else) and can extract the output and review it in excel?

Do I have to do it manually during post processor and review the individual stress of the element by selecting it or do we have an alternative?

Thanks

Hi Shaheer,

Yes you can use Nastran SETs to get results for selected Patran Groups of elements in the model. To create a SET in Patran create a Group under 'Group>Create>Select Entity' and pick the elements you're interested in. Next in the Analysis tab,

click Subcases,

select the subcase you want under Available Subcases,

click Output Requests and set the Form Type to Advanced

click Element Stresses and select the Group in the right side selection box.

Upon exporting this bdf, this Group is written to bdf as an element SET=n in the case control section and STRESS=n in the subcase.

Thanks,

Vinay
