Hello Everyone !

How can I get stress Sx in Beam188 or Beam189 with ETABLE in ANSYS APDL?

I have used the following commands, but it did not work. ANSYS APDL always return stress section in the first node.

sb1 = 100

*DIM,SX_MAX,,sb1,1

*DO,e,1,sb1

SET,,, ,,, ,e

   ETABLE,S,LS,1,MAX

   *VGET,SEQ,ELEM,1,ETAB,S, , ,4 

    SX_MAX(e,1) = SEQ(1,1)

ETABLE,REFL 

*ENDDO

When I define a rectangular profile section the above code work, but to irregular section does not work.

Can you check what is keyopt(15) setting for the irregular shape? If the keyopt(15)=1 then you wont be able to see the above results.n

Hi Array, yes I can, I checked, keyopt(15) = 0n KEYOPT(15nResults file format:n0 --  Store averaged results at each section corner node (default).n1 --  Store non-averaged results at each section integration point. (The volume of data may be excessive. This option is typically useful for built-up sections with multiple materials only.) nnThanksn
