Reply To: Using APDL to extract stresses on a beam element.

[danielshaw]

The low stress value obtained by *GET probably just means that quantity was not available.  What message was issued to the solve.out file when that *GET was issued? 

1Did you try just issuing *GET for 1 node/element before embedding the *GET commands inside a *DOLOOP?

1Why are you attempting to extract nodal stresses for beam elements?  What is the relevance of the nodal stress from a beam element?  Typically you are interested in the beam results.
