Post-processing of stress results in panel

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've got two questions concerning the handling of the stress results in an analysis of panels.

1) Is it possible to extract the stresses from node locations (see figure below)? I have positioned nodes at the locations of interest in my panel, but can't figure out how to get the stresses in exactly these points.

2) Is it possible to perform calculations on the stresses from different load combinations after the analysis, such as subtracting or adding two stress fields? I know it's possible to add and subtract loads and load combinations by making new load combination, but what I would like to use is a similar post processing tool to the Field Output tool in Abaqus ( http://www.egr.msu.edu/software/abaqus/Documentation/docs/v6.7/books/usi/default.htm?startat=pt05ch2... ). Is a similar tool available in ROBOT?

Best regards

UPDATE: Problem 1 is now solved by use of the tables in Results -> Plate and shell results

No, it isn't however you may copy the results to excel and do the maths there.

Thank you for the reply.

Regarding question 1; is it possible to pick the nodes in the view and get the value shown in the view? In my case I would like to pick the three nodes and take a screenshot with the values next to the nodes. (I know this is possible by typing the coordinates and use the "Indicated graphically" option, but I find that method very inefficient and time consuming).

No, this is not possible but you may do the screen capture like this:
