Centroid, Shear centre and centre for rigidity

      I modeled a wind turbine blade using shell elements and defined the materials and thickness. Now I want to know the location of the centroid, the center of rigidity, and the shear center in different locations of the blade cross-section. And also, I want to know the stiffness variation of my blade throughout the length. How can I extract this information from ansys workbench? Here I attached the sectional elevation of the blade. I want to extract the information mentioned above in different blade length locations. These points are essential because I have to assign resultant forces to these points for further analysis. Any information will be of great help.

      Thank you

      Can somebody provide me with the information? I am desperate to get the information to solve the problem I am stuck with.

      I appreciate any help you can provide.

      This information is obtained through analytical calculation. I dont think it is possible to readily extract such information in FEA.
