Strain Energy / Dehnungsenergie

#1

Dear Sofistik Community,

I’m trying to read the total STRAIN ENERGY from my Sofistik model. Do you know a way to do that?

Thank You!

Hello Luise,
You can output the values of strain energy for each groups via Report Browser.
In ASE Module please use ECHO commands:
ECHO STAT FULL
ECHO FORC FULL
ECHO GRP FULL
The values are not saved in the database, so you can not access them via Wingraf or Result Viewer.

Best regards,
Your SOFiSTiK Support Team

Dear SOFISTIK Support Team,

Many thanks for your helpful response! This works for me now.

However, two new questions arise for me then:

  • is it possible to read out the results distinguished into strain energy form compressive, tensile and bending forces?
  • is there any possibility to receive these values from the database, because I’m using a custom python interface where I read out the results form the database directly?

Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Luise
