Element1D Derived Stress results like von Mises
Note: This is a dropdown component and input/output may vary depending on the selected dropdown
Input parameters
 | Result List | Result | Result |
 | List | Element/Member filter List | Filter the Elements or Members by list. (by default 'all') Element/Member list should take the form: 1 11 to 20 step 2 P1 not (G1 to G6 step 3) P11 not (PA PB1 PS2 PM3 PA4 M1) Refer to help file for definition of lists and full vocabulary. |
 | Integer | Intermediate Points | Number of intermediate equidistant points (default 3) |
Output parameters
 | Unit Number Pressure Tree | Elastic Shear Y | The maximum elastic shear stresses in local Y-axis |
| +ve stresses: tensile | |||
| Unit Number Pressure Tree | Elastic Shear Z | The maximum elastic shear stresses in local Z-axis |
| +ve stresses: tensile | |||
| Unit Number Pressure Tree | Torsional | Torsional stress: St = Mxx/Ct |
| where Ct is the ‘torsion modulus’. (Refer to the GSA manual for details.) | |||
| Unit Number Pressure Tree | von Mises | Von Mises stress: This is calculated assuming the maximum through thickness stress and torsional stress coexist. |
In most cases this is an over-estimate of the von Mises stress. Von Mises stress is not calculated for cases with enveloping operators in them. |
