Hi experts,

I'm looking to show the contour of "shear stress" or "strain rate" in AcuSolve result using HyperView.

Can anyone guide me on this?

Thanks!

    The quantity wall_shear_stress will be available if you are running turbulence and standard Wall boundary types.  That will apply to the walls.

    If you request extended output, you should have access to the nodal quantity strain_rate_invariant_2 - which is the second invariant of the strain rate tensor.

    You'll likely need to use acuTrans/acuOut or the Convert tool to write the results to h3d format:

    acuTrans -pb <problem name> -run <run #> -out -extout -to h3d -outv velocity,pressure,strain_rate_invariant_2

    To see the full list of available variables:

    acuTrans -pb <problem name> -run <run #> -out -extout -to info
