[CIVIL NX] Difference between ‘total’, ‘part 1’ and ‘part 2’ in the components part of the forces tab in the tree menu for composite section

Question

Difference between ‘total’, ‘part 1’ and ‘part 2’ in the components part of the forces tab in the tree menu for composite section

Answer

The forces for parts 1 and 2 are calculated on strain compatibility for each part. The summation for this isn't essentially the bending moment for the total part. Also, the forces of part 1 and part 2 are of no engineering significance. This bifurcation of parts is mainly for stress results. Hence, as a general guideline, when checking the force results, it is always advisable to check for the Total and when checking the stresses, it is always advisable to check for individual parts.
