I am modelling a concrete slab in Autodesk Simulation Mechanical 2012. I need to evaluate the maximum shear stress in the slab and therefore need to consider values "inside" the slab. Is there any smart way do so that I have not figured out yet. I now I can use slice plane to see the stresses but I would like to be able to inquire the results.
One method is to select elements and either hide them or hide the unselected elements. This will expose the internal elements, thereby letting you inquire on the results. If you are working with a CAD model, the internal elements are essentially random, so you will not get a smooth "cut".
If you want to look at elements at a very specific location, such as a slice plane, you can split your part into multiple parts. Then hide one of the parts and inquire on the results on the matching part.
Do you know if it is possible to get shear results from plate elements?
Same problem as above, a concrete slab where I am interested in the vertical shear stress. Plate elements do not seem to give me that information which I find a bit strange, since it is common in similar software to be able to extract shear stresses from plate models.
