Panel Stress - data

Returns information concerning values of stress data in structure panels.

RSA_PANEL_STRESS_DATA (Information type, Stress type, Extremum type, Results parameters, Element type, Element no. (panel / node), Case no., Layer for stresses, Layer relative value, Direction X, Direction Y, Direction Z )

The RSA_PANEL_STRESS_DATA formula syntax has the following arguments:

Information type

The following types of information are available:

• PANEL_NO

  returns a panel no.

• CASE_NO

  returns a case no.

• EXTREMUM

  returns a force value for the extremum found

Note: If you type an argument in the formula manually, enclose the text in quotation marks. You can also select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.

Note: If you type an argument in the formula manually, enclose the text in quotation marks. You can also select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.

Element type

The following types of element are available:

• PANELS

  Element no. parameter points to panels

  Element no. parameter points to nodes

Note: If you type an argument in the formula manually, enclose the text in quotation marks. You can also select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.

Element no.

The following input methods are available:

• Number - for element type PANELS, panels selection, for NODES, nodes selection.
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@".

Note: If panels are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first panel selected.

Case no.

The following input methods are available:

• Text - type a text (any character string) and enclose it in quotation marks, for example: "ALL" - all cases in the project or "1 2 3" - specified list of cases
• Number - type an integer
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@" (cases which are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional are taken into account)
