ST7-1.70.20.1 Extracting Forces and Moments from a Brick Mesh
Brick elements are able to model thick structures with more accuracy than plate or beam elements. This is especially true at thick details and where parts join; beams and plates would overlap and not represent the true attachment well.
However, beam and plate elements give force output which is usually easier to interpret for design purposes. This Webnote covers two approaches for extracting forces and moments from brick meshes. The simple cantilever brick mesh shown at right has a moment (1000...
