Hi again, I'd really like to plot strains on shells, so I duplicated my shells and assigned them a very thin thicknsess and a youngs modulus of 1. The idea was to plot the stresses, which would be equal to the strain, for this component. However, it…

Forgot to mention that I normally model the sandwich core with solid elements
-
When working with sandwich and box beam structures the skins are normally very thin in relation to beam hight (or total sandwich thickness). Skin bending can in most cases be neglected and thus the normal stresses/forces are of most interest when di…

great news, but to get an overview, I'd prefer strain plot on shells. Otherwise I need to plot each layer, and there might be many... Anyway, I'll test the lam stress option

Would it be possible to plot the principal stresses (or forces per unit length) as ISO plot with arrows indicating direction overlaid?
-
by the way - why not principal and von mises per unit length (sigma * thickness)?

I notice that it is possible to plot bending moments and shear per unit length - good news, but not the normal forces per unit length? Very helpful when dimensioning shells
