Reading stresses inside a volumetric body

Hello,

There are various ways to read stresses at desired locations for 1D and 2D elements. Now I have the case that my component can only be represented with a solid body. For this, the resulting stresses on the surfaces are well displayed with "values on faces," but this information is missing inside. The result points are also only applicable on faces, although the dropdown menu "result point type" in the dialog "new result point" seems to suggest that there should be other types, which are not available for me. And in the result section, the stresses appear as undefined.

Is there any way to evaluate the stresses inside a solid body at arbitrary locations?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hi R.Gillen,

Thank you very much for your inquiry.

I think clipping planes are a great feature and a big help. You can find more information at the following link.

Hello Mr. Kuhn,

Thank you for your response. So far, the clipping planes have also been the method used. However, it is quite tedious to read the stresses at selected FE nodes, as the mesh is not visible in the section and it is often not clear which values are in the foreground and which are in the background. For better clarity, it should be possible to narrow down the area further by activating two clipping planes simultaneously. Basically like a clipping box, only that this does not allow the display of values. Alternatively, the transparency of the component for "values on surfaces" would need to be adjustable.
I hope it has become clear why I have been looking for a simpler alternative. If you have any ideas on this, I would be happy to receive a response. Otherwise, I will continue to work as before.

Many thanks,
Ruben Gillen

Sie könnten sich entweder über KI oder über selbstprogrammierte Anwendungen spezifische Werte an definierten Knoten ausgeben lassen. Damit hätten Sie die Information.

Folgender Link, könnte da eventuell weiterhelfen.
