UEL visualization and strain energy for UEL

Submitted by mrashidzafar on

I am only seeing a "x" for a UEL at its first node. And I dont see any other node of UEL. Is it correct or some problem is there?

I also want to calculate the strain energy for whole model(including UEL). But in history output I am only seeing strain energy of Abaqus defined elements under "whole model strain energy". Can some one please help me in calculating strain energy of whole model including UELs 

Dear mrashidzafar

Plotting of user elements is not supported in Abaqus/CAE. You should check the documentation (Visualizing user-defined elements in Abaqus/CAE - 32.15.1 User-defined elements of the Abaqus Analysis User's Manual).
