If you want to plot compression stresses, you have to run a design task for your elements.
/3. You can see and plot the stresses within the result viewer. There you can choose between the different loadcases.
If you need further information about the result viewer, you should have a look at the related manual.
Hello,
I know how to use result viewer to plot stress on a cross section, and to plot internal force along a structual line.
But what I really want is to plot stress of cross section along a structural line, I read the result view manual, but couldn’t find how to do it.
To plot stresses along a structural line you have to run a desgin task (AQB) for the beam elements.
You can’t see the stresses in GRAPHICs because you haven’t calculated them.
I looked at your TEDDY File and it is clear that you still haven’t calculated the stresses.
You can see that a few inputs are missing.
I would advise you to look at other AQB examples, where you learn how to use the program AQB.
I added something into AQB after reading th AQB manual, the GUI does show stress, I guess AQB module works.
But in the wingraf, it shows warnings as below:
+++++ warning no. 802 in program gr3_e_stab
BEAM TYPE SIGD not valid :
Kind of system not valid or undefined element type
+++++ warning no. 802 in program gr3_e_stab

Please create your project with the SSD. Afterwars you can export the project to .dat (->TEDDY).
There you see how to work with the individual moduls and which inputs they require.
So the workflow I would recommend is:
1 Create new SSD project
2 Define materials and cross sections (AQUA)
3 Draw the cantilever with SOFiPLUS(-X) (SOFiMSHC)
4 Add loads and loadcases in SOFiPLUS(-X) (SOFiLOAD)
5 Linear analysis of the system (ASE)
6 Determine the design load cases (MAXIMA)
7 Design of the cantilever with the Task “Design (SLS Beams)”(AQB)
8 Calculate All
9 Export project to .dat (Start > Database Tools > Export to DAT …)
10 Have a look at the TEDDY moduls and how they are structured
11 Right click on the task “Design SLS (Beams)” > Text Editor
12 Now you see the required inputs for an Basic AQB run
13 Try to recreate the project with TEDDY on your own
With this workflow you can work out how the different moduls/tasks work.
In my opinion it makes no sense to give you the exact solution for your problem in this forum.
You have to find the solution on your own. Only then you are able to get a proper understanding of the software.
