nodal_elastic_strain_intensity

PostProcessing.nodal_elastic_strain_intensity()

The elastic nodal strain intensity of the current result.

Equivalent MAPDL command: :rtype: ndarray

• PRNSOL, EPEL, PRIN

Returns:

numpy.ndarray

The elastic nodal strain intensity of the current result.

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 value.

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 value.

Examples

Return the elastic strain intensity for result 2.
