Reply To: How to extract running loads and moments from SHELL181 elements in workbench?

Here's a link to the zip with the tool, extracted loads from Ansys for elements and stresses as well as the NASTRAN bdf generated in FEMAP. The main differentiator is the M11 term from Ansys. If I set that to 0, then the resutls come fairly close if I say pluck element 1 running loads from the SMISC data. FEMAP is spot on with the tool and outputs [1,0,0,0,0,0] for membrane loads [Nx,Ny,Nxy,Mx,My,Mxy].
