No contour plot for Hexa elements

Altair Forum User

Hi George, 

 

What is the reason that I can't see vonMises, spec. Energy in my disc. It works for the tretra elements.  Only the displacement contour works. You can see it in the images ( ). I also attached an image of the engine cards () I used. 

 

Thanks, Best

J

Hi Jonas,

Please keep /ANIM/ELEM/SIGX, /ANIM/ELEM/SIGY, /ANIM/ELEM/SIGZ, /ANIM/ELEM/SIGXY, /ANIM/ELEM/SIGYZ, /ANIM/ELEM/SIGZX, /ANIM/ELEM/VONM in the engine file and try running.

If the results are still not extracted please share the model file.

Hi George

For strain is it ANIM/ELEM/STRZ .....

Hi,

For plastic strain you can add /ANIM/ELEM/EPSP in the engine file.

And for shell elements you can add /ANIM/SHELL/TENS/STRAIN/ALL and for solid elements  /ANIM/BRICK/TENS/STRAIN/ALL can be used.

Thank George

But for the 2D plain strain your keywords do not work. Do you have any suggestion for me?

Hi,

There are some limitations for plane strain problems in RADIOSS. For strains you can only extract plastic strain (/ANIM/ELEM/EPSP) for plane strain problems.
