Hai,

I am able to find the maximum, minimum and shear stresses. But i want to get the direction of principal stress. How to get the stress perpendiular to panel, transverse stress and shear stress acting on the panel?

Hi Anupama,

You can plot the vector principal stress plot and export the result (.xls file) which will give you the angles required to produce a coordinate system whose X, Y and Z-axis are the directions of maximum, middle and minimum principal quantities.
