Topic: Correct component for obtain strain in shear reinforcement

Dear Sir,

I had a problem when I was obtained the results of beam modelation. In modelation I applied "strain monitoring point" in shear and flexural reinforcement bars, but the results of monitoring point in shear reinforcement is zero in all 200 steps. The stranger it´s already modeled 3 beam and the problem persist. So i have one question. For "strain monitoring point" in shear reinforcement I've choosed:
1) Type: value at integ. point
2) Value: Strain
3) Item: Component 3

and the point of "monitoring point" it is over reinforcement bars. is the "component 3" well choosed? Because we have six component options.

Thanks for your time

Re: Correct component for obtain strain in shear reinforcement

Dear fernandes, please understand the 1-D reinforcement bars only have axial stiffness and therefore, only a single component of stress (StressXX, Component 1) and strain (EpsX, Component 1). You can easily check in postprocessing which components have values in which elements before changing the monitor definitions.
