How do you plot the axial stresses in LINK10 elements?


In ANSYS Release 10.0, to find the axial stress in the LINK10 element, you use an ETABLE command. First select the LINK10 elements and then issue ETABLE,SAXL,LS,1. That command will store the axial stresses under the label SAXL. You can then list those values with PRETAB or plot them with PLLS.
