LS-Dyna beam stress and strain

      Hello, 

       

      I am trying to show beam strains and stresses in LS-DYNA but it does not show any values. However, it shows forces for these elements.

      or what are the steps i should follow to record and read stress and strain for beam?

      Thanks

      Use an integrated beam formulation, e.g. the type 1 beam, and set BEAMIP and STRFLG in DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY

      Actually, to get axial strains, set BEAMIP to the number of integration points for the section. 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.
