Is it possible to precisely specify Query points, using coordinates, or planes?

Question

It will be nice of using excel table, and create specific XYZ points.

I need to check the FEA stress, against strain gages.

Thanks,

Boris

Boris,When you ran the analysis, The analysis should have created a folder with the name of the analysis.In this folder there should be a file called (Your_Analysis_Name.rpt). Open this file with a text editor.In this file you will find the data your are looking for at the end of the file.Hope this helps,Don AndersonShould look something like this: Load Set: LoadSet1: PRT0001 Resultant Load on Model: in global X direction: -3.731300e-10 in global Y direction: 7.743008e-11 in global Z direction: -2.000000e+03 Measures: max_beam_bending: 0.000000e+00 max_beam_tensile: 0.000000e+00 max_beam_torsion: 0.000000e+00 max_beam_total: 0.000000e+00 max_disp_mag: 2.273793e-01 max_disp_x: 1.274006e-02 max_disp_y: -1.749406e-02 max_disp_z: -2.264426e-01 max_prin_mag*: -2.202082e+02 max_rot_mag: 0.000000e+00 max_rot_x: 0.000000e+00 max_rot_y: 0.000000e+00 max_rot_z: 0.000000e+00 max_stress_prin: 2.323141e+01 max_stress_vm*: 1.225728e+02 max_stress_xx*: -9.745248e+01 max_stress_xy*: 7.909744e+00 max_stress_xz*: 7.430658e+00 max_stress_yy*: -9.913390e+01 max_stress_yz*: 1.070902e+01 max_stress_zz*: -2.191157e+02 min_stress_prin*: -2.202082e+02 strain_energy: 1.765350e+02 Measure1*: 1.225728e+02 Measure2: 2.662682e+00 Measure3: 7.468690e+00 Measure4_PNT10: 7.497607e+00 Measure4_PNT11: 7.910385e+00 Measure4_PNT12*: 6.300263e+00 Measure4_PNT13*: 5.404658e+00 Measure4_PNT4: 5.468962e+00 Measure4_PNT5: 7.303314e+00 Measure4_PNT6: 8.184689e+00 Measure4_PNT7: 8.172292e+00 Measure4_PNT8: 4.504136e+00 Measure4_PNT9: 6.807737e+00** Warning: The measures marked by an asterisk (*) were evaluated at (or close to) results singularities.

Boris,You might try using a Simulation Measure over Selected Geometry at Point. (see image below)If you create your points as a pattern it will create measures for each of the points you havedefined in the pattern. (make sure to select the pattern)You could then map the measure results in the .rpt file in the analysis directory to an excel file sheet.Hope this helps,Don Anderson
