Hello,

I just ran a simple 2-D axisymmetric analysis in Abaqus. I used both quadrilateral and triangle elements for my mesh to compare and show that the region of stress concentration is equal regardless of the element type used.

I plotted the contours using my own intervals and now I'm trying to calculate the areas of the high stress regions. I know that axisymmetric elements are unsupported for mass/volume/area computations.

Is there an easy way to go about finding the area of a specific contour region? Or an easy Python script that I can use to compute the areas?

Thanks
