I would like to obtain a path plot at the outer surfaces and midplane of a shell. How can I do this?


The SHELL command can be issued before the PDEF command to specify TOP, MID, or BOT of the shell. Please see the example below.


/prep7
et,1,181
r,1,1
mp,ex,1,2e5
mp,nuxy,1,0.3
rect,0,10,0,10
esize,1
amesh,1
nsel,s,loc,x
d,all,all
nsel,s,loc,x,10
f,all,fz,100
f,all,fy,100
nsel,all
finish

/solu
solve
finish

/post1
path,stress,2
ppath,1,node(5,0,0)
ppath,2,node(5,10,0)

shell,top
pdef,top_sx,s,x
shell,mid
pdef,mid_sx,s,x
shell,bot
pdef,bot_sx,s,x

plpath,top_sx,mid_sx,bot_sx
