No rating yet Subject: Re: Retrieving maximum equiv. stress for a given loadstep Author: Keith Gallagher Date: 2008-04-24 18:43:27Issue plnsol,s,eqv followed by:
*GET, max_stress, PLNSOL, 0, max
This gets the max value from the last plnsol command.
Drawback is you may have singular stresses that could result in not getting what you are looking for. Careful selection of nodes and elements should take care of this.
Good luck,

All,
Is there a better command to retrieve maximum equivalent stress in a mixed element model, for a load step and a sub-step in modal analysis?
I am using nsort followed by *get, par, sort, max...
The drawback here is that I've to select a set of elements, shells or solids, before execution. I've to guess where maximum stress will be for the sub-step.
Thanks for your help.
