12.2 Element nodal forces in beam section orientations

Products: Abaqus/Standard  Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: You can now display element nodal forces caused by stress in the element in the same coordinate system used to output section forces and moments.

Description: The new output variable NFORCSO displays the element nodal forces caused by stress in the element in the same coordinate system used to output section forces and moments. NFORCSO differs from NFORC only in the coordinate system used for output: while NFORCSO components are the internal forces in the beam coordinate system; NFORC components are internal forces in the global coordinate system.
