Element output
The relative displacements and rotations corresponding to the forces and moments below are chosen by requesting the corresponding “strains.” Elastic and plastic strains are available. For a spud can the vertical (plastic) embedment since the start of the analysis is given by PE11; the total vertical embedment is available as PEEQ.
JOINT2D
- S11
Total direct force in the first local direction.
- S22
Total direct force in the second local direction.
- S12
Total moment about the third local direction.
JOINT3D
- S11
