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

[Jannick]

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, I use Shell Elements for my simulation, so the beam Elements does not work. What I have found out. I can add a history database and save the elout. The file contains the strain in xx,yy,zz and xy,yz and zx. Can I somehow calculate plastic strain from this using a formula? Unfortunately, I have not found anything suitable.
