How to obtain resultant moment from the stress output of 3D element

Submitted by alex1paglia on

Sirs,

I have modeled a pile with 3D elements in Abaqus . It is possible to obtain from the output file (.dat) the stresses on the elements points (averaged or not). Is there anyone able to suggest me a command able to give me the resultant moment of the S33 stress abuot the axis passing through the centroid of the cross section?

Thank you

I am curious about why you want the resultant moment. Is it because you want the back calculate the bending stiffness? If yes, you are better off by using a general cross-sectional tool like VABS .
