Is it possible to obtain the element stresses/ moments at a certain location within a plate?.

There is a print command that lets you print the element stress at any location within a plate. The syntax for the print command is

PRINT ELEMENT JOINT STRESSES AT f1 f2 LIST elements-list where f1 and f2 represent the distances along local X and local Y of the plate measured from the plate origin in current units.

For example if the current length units is set to “feet” and to one wants to print the moments/stresses at 0.5 ft from the center of a plate # 47, the print command would be

PRINT ELEMENT JOINT STRESSES AT 0.5 0.5 LIST 47
