In ANSYS Release 11.0, how does ANSYS convert integration-point results to nodal results?


The ERESX command controls the conversion of integration-point results to nodal results. The behavior for each ERESX setting is explained below.

DEFA - If element is fully elastic, the integration point results are extrapolated to the nodes. However, if any portion of the element is plastic, then the integration point results are copied to the nodes.

Yes - The linear portion of the integration point results is extrapolated to the nodes and the plastic portion is copied.

Copy - The integration point results are copied to the nodes.
