please help me bring up the curva force vs displacement data, is the setting in my hypermesh not enough to be able to bring up the data, ? I have followed the youtube video steps but the results are different, Thank you.

    hi,

    from what i've seen in your model, you want to plot the force x displacement curve of your part, smashed by the pole, right?

    In order to do that, you will need to request in your Radioss model, the time history (Output Block - TH) of the green rigid body, requesting both the displacement and forces on the rbody. (DEF)

    Assuming that you have both the displacement over time, and force over time, you can cross-plot them as shown in the video you've shared.

    Hi,

    In your model, there are only time histories for interface and rigid bodies (TH/INTER, TH/RBODY), these outputs register forces and moments. If you want to output displacement, you also need to add a time history that captures displacement, like a TH/NODE, for example.

    Can you show me how to input it in the form of photos or videos, I don't really understand, thank you.

    Is this what it means ?

    For example, if you want to plot the Force x Displacement of RBODY ID=19 in you model, you should request on Output Blocks a TH/RBODY for this element (Force) and a TH/NODE for the main node of the RBODY (Displacement):
