When viewing animations and contours in hyperview, I can only see the Von mises stress contour plots. (Scalar) There are no tensor plots.
How can I get a contour plot for principal stresses?
I tried the /TH/Bric from the output block for a time history. But that only gives a graph in hypergraph for selected elements. I want to be able to see animation like Von Mises animation in hyperview and also know what element is subjected to max principal stress.
How to obtain such plots?
Thanks,

Edit: I think I need to use the Anim options from engine file. But I cannot increase the card count beyond 3. How to get more than 3 anim/keyword2/keyword3 entries?

    Hi,

    Please add the parameter /ANIM/SHELL/TENS/STRESS/ALL

    While post-processing the results, follow the below options to get Principal stress:
