nodal_stress_intensity#

PostProcessing.nodal_stress_intensity()#

The nodal stress intensity of the current result.

Equilvanent MAPDL command: PRNSOL, S, PRIN

Return type:: ndarray

Notes

The nodal results are averaged across all selected elements. Not all nodes will contain valid results (e.g. midside nodes), and those nodes will report a zero stress.

Elements that are not selected will not contribute to the averaged nodal values, and if a node’s attached elements are all unselected, the element will report a zero stress value.
