For the input shown below, my stress results are zero. Why?


Defect 25209 was filed and subsequently corrected in the
UP20040628 build of ANSYS 9.0. The problem occurs for the
unique combination of SHELL181 KEYOPT(8)=2, real constant
thickness input (as opposed to shell section data properties),
/ESHAPE, AND PowerGraphics.

A related error (reported in Solution 328919) was also corrected
in a previous build of ANSYS 9.0. Please refer to that solution
for additional details.

The above combination causes data to be lost in 8.1, but if you:

1) comment out KEYOPT(8)=2, OR

2) use section data instead of real constant data, OR

3) comment out /ESHAPE, OR

4) use full graphics,

the problem goes away. You just need to do ONE of the above.
Also, if you use full graphics (which works) and then comment out
the /GRAPH,FULL command and run it again, the right answers are
displayed, probably due to something not getting initialized ...
