Coordinates for shell forces

[kristoffer_perssonXMFUD]

Hello

I am new to Robot so sorry if this is basic...

I want to export a list of shel forces to excel.

Is this possible?

Can't seem to link .rtd file ...

Hi @kristoffer_perssonXMFUD ,

You can open another table with node coordinates. 

Technically this task can be solved using API.

Thanks that works.

Do you now if it is possible to export the information from cuts (located at 1/8, 2/8, 3/8 ... of the span) in the same way? (constant force possiple?)

Hi @kristoffer_perssonXMFUD ,

Unfortunately not possible.

Currently workning on a workaround with modifying the mesh size so it is 1/32 part of the span and then using some of the node values.

I have tried renumbering nodes as explained in:

The problem is that this seems to get reset everytime i calculate.

Why does this occur and is it possible to prevent this reset of node numbers?

There seem to be a good system for this with beams....

hi @kristoffer_perssonXMFUD 

to avoid automatic re-meshing of modifed panels you must freeze their meshing

to align inside nodes at a specific line you can also draw a polyline over the panel

Thanks, this help so much! @Stephane.kapetanovic
