Strain energy of the deflected plate

[MisiaKu]

I need help.

I’m having trouble figuring out the total energy of a deflected plate. It has the surface density ENER. How do I do this using Edit CalculiX Keywords or some other method?

You could request history output of ELSE and set Totals to Yes or Only.

I’ve been looking for a long time and can’t find it.

It’s in the FE Model tab here:

I didn’t notice such a simple option :-))). Thank you very much for your help.
