Contour that is the sum of the contour value in each time step

Federico Bosi

Hello,

I did a Motionsolve analysis and one of the output are contact pressures between the parts. I wanted to sum the values of the contour contact pressure but i can't find how to do it. My target is to have the cumulative load on each node during standard operation to correlate it with real wear of the parts.

You use a linear superposition derived loadstep to sum of the simulation steps

This will simply take the results at each timestep (simulation step) and add them all together.

Thank you, I didn't know this function. This does exactly what I needed.
