Hi there,
currently I am running explicit FE simulations with Radioss Block.
The simulations are setup using a 'master' file, that calls a number of input files.
The input files comprise sub-assemblies of the total model.
Now, in my results I am able to make a contour plot of the (Von Mises) stresses. Maximum Von Mises stress is 275 MPa.
The animation files show indeed excessive deformation of the component in a specific include, which is expected.
However, when trying to plot the strains, it seems results remain 0.000e+00 for the entire simulation time for this component.
I am able to view both stresses and strains on the other components.
In my engine file I do request to output the strain tensor:
#-----------------------------------
# Animation file control
#-----------------------------------
/ANIM/DT
0.000000e+000 1
/ANIM/SHELL/TENS/STRESS/ALL
/ANIM/SHELL/TENS/STRAIN/ALL
Could it be an issue on the material or property card?
#---1----|----2----|----3----|----4----|----5----|----6----|----7----|----8----|----9----|---10----|
/MAT/PLAS_JOHNS/14

0.0 0.0 0 0 0.0 0.0
# m T_melt rhoC_p T_r
0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
Is anyone aware of the possibility to loose the strain for plotting purposes, whilst the stresses are still present?
