Hi Fabian,

can you share the result file?

I will check at my end.

Hello again,

thank you for testing it on your end. I sent the .odb-File to your dropbox link from your signature.

Not sure if needed, but this is my FLC-data (true strain):

Minor: -0.163; -0.068; -0.013; 0.018; 0.054; 0.355

Major: 0.388; 0.302; 0.224; 0.18; 0.189; 0.375

Regards,

Fabian

Hi Fabian,

Thanks for sharing. I will check and update to you soon.

To be a valid FLD data type, it need to be elemental bound tensor results(in tensor format, not in component scalar format).

Please check if it meets this criterion.

Thank you for your testing.

I am not sure how to change the setting in abaqus to get elemental bound tensor results, but I will try to figure it out and reply if it works.

Regards,

Fabian

Hello again,

I am struggeling to find the right settings to get elemental bound tensor results in Abaqus. Could you maybe go into more detail what to do exactly, or even tell me the setting in Abaqus if you happen to know it?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Fabian

Hi Fabian,

Please contact Abaqus support on how to get element bound tensors.
