Comments

  1. Stress and strain tensor are output in the elemental coordinate system.
  2. For fully integrated BATOZ shells, Ishell=12, the output value is the average of the in-plane Gauss points.
  3. Strain tensor is output only if Istrain =1 in shell property for material law numbers < /MAT/LAW25 (COMPSH), except laws /MAT/LAW15 (CHANG) and /MAT/LAW19 (FABRI). For all other material laws, the value of Istrain does not matter.
  4. Ply ID number is prop_ID from /PROP/TYPE19 (PLY)/prop_ID or ply_ID from /PLY/ply_ID.
