I want to compare balloon-expandable stent simulation using elemen type between beam 188 and solid 187 ?
In the solution beam 188, there are option beam tool, and I use direct stress to know the stress in axial direction,
Thus, same for beam 188. I want to know the stress in axial direction in solid 187 element type, but in option stress, there is only stress in the following picture..
can me get the stress in axial direction for solid 187 element type ?
Just as Claudio said, beams and solids are different element types in terms of the equations they essentially solve. I don't have a lot of experience with ANSYS WB, but I can tell you that in ANSYS APDL, you can plot or extract stresses in X, Y, or Z directions as well as Principal, von-Mises, etc for solid element types. You just need to select the correct stress component in the window during post-processing. I believe you can export your WB results to APDL and do post-processing in that environment, too.
Yes you can, but the stresses in the solid model (I assuming you have more than one element on the cross section) in any direction (assming you have a load case more than axial tension/compresion) would not be a single value, but follow some distribution. How to compare a value to an array of numbers? It highly depend on the nature of your objective.
