Hi,
we have a small problem with wall forces in StarCD. StarCD gives us what it calls Wall Shear Forces in N. But what is this value related to? Which Area? I have no Idea, since a local Wall Force in N doesn't make any sense to me. I can have a force as integral of pressure or stress over a surface, but not as a stand alone local value. So what is it that StarCD calls Wall Shear Force? Regards, Torsten |

the wall force acts on the area of the shell cell, it will vary from cell to cell. if you have the wall force loaded as cell data then do:
oper getw area 5 oper divi 4 5 4 wplo then this will give you the stress, if your more happy with that. allan |

Thank you, that's what we figured out in the meantime. We do the calculation as you state it and I'm much more happy with that
