Structural results locations

Ply results are located at the middle of the ply, the top and bottom of the ply, or the top, middle, and bottom of the ply. You request the location from the Composite Solid Ply Output list in Structural Output Requests dialog box.

Interlaminar results are located at the top and bottom of the ply.

Elemental, nodal output

Structural 3D element ply results are at the element centroid and at the element nodes depending on the option you select from the Location list in the Structural Output Requests dialog box.

• When you select CENTER from the Location list, 3D element ply results are displayed at the element centroid and have the string Elemental in the results node name in the Post Processing Navigator.

• When you select CORNER or SGAGE from the Location list, 3D element ply results are at both the element centroid and element nodes.The results at the element centroid have the string Elemental in the results node name in the Post Processing Navigator.The results at the element nodes have the string Elemental-Nodal in the results node name in the Post Processing Navigator.

The thermal solver outputs only Ply Temperatures - Elemental results per plies bacause the thermal solver solves for elemental results. Nodal results are interpolated from elemental results, thus nodal temperatures cannot be computed for each ply separately. Nodal temperatures are displayed using the Temperatures - Nodal result set.
