Reply To: Analyzing the relationship between strain and displacement in a beam model

[Ushnish Basu]

For integrated beams, you can get axial strain at beam integration points by setting BEAMIP (*database_extent_binary) to the number of beam integration points.  Then, after running the model, read d3plot into LS-PrePost and click   History > Int.Pt. > Etype: Beams > (click on any beam element) > Axial Strain > Plot.
