How to calculate average strain over element set?
Hi everyone,
I'm facing the titled issue, that is well explained in this formula I'm reporting below:
I tried using HyperView, asking for Strain(t) in contour panel and "Absolute Max Principal" as result type. How can I go further? I can't think about a way to do this weighted average over element volumes since I don't have volume information in output. Do you have any idea?

Thank you for your thorough reply, Adriano.
Unfortunately, as I specified before, I don't have available volume output with Ls-Dyna, even tough I load my file.k in the "load model" box...

have you tried the approach I've suggested? Volume is not coming from Dyna. It is coming from element data calculated by HV.

I didn't select "advanced" in the "result-math template" box. Your approach is correct! Many thanks I didn't know it!
Altair Employeeyou could use "Result Math' to get something like what you need.
You won't have the summation directly, but at least you could have the product V*result for each element.
One you have the results for all your elements, you could use 'Query' to get a list of all the desired elements.
Hope this helps.
