Stress based FE is not popular. Why?

Submitted by ramdas chennamsetti on Mon, 01/25/2010 - 17:51

Hi all,

I have a doubt as follows.

"Why stress based Finite Element Analysis / Method is not popular compared to displacement based FE?"

I request you those who has some idea about this to comment.

With regards,

Dear friends .

This is the first time i am using abaqus for analysis. I am doing a moving load analysis of a bridge .I have planned to apply a distributed load and vary the profile using DLOAD . Do you think its a good idea ?. Can anybody send me an example file of DLOAD.

Thanks and Regards
