Outputs

Node

Pos_

Position and Z-X-Z euler angles of the node

Vel_

Velocity of the node. The translational velocity and the angular velocity are measured in the inertia reference frame.

Acc_

Acceleration of the node. The translational acceleration the angular acceleration are measured in the inertia reference frame.

EX,EY,EZ ,EXY,EYZ,EZY

Strain tensor measured in the inertia reference frame.

E1,E2,E3

Principal Strain.

E1X, E1Y, E1Z, E2X, E2Y, E2Z, E3X, E3Y, E3Z,

Vector of Principal Strain. These values are Eigenvector of Principal Strain. It can be calculated like following.

\(\begin{aligned} & \left[ \begin{matrix} E1X \\ E1Y \\ E1Y \\ \end{matrix} \right]=E1\left[ \begin{matrix} EV_{X}^{1} \\ EV_{Y}^{1} \\ EV_{Z}^{1} \\ \end{matrix} \right],\left[ \begin{matrix} E2X \\ E2Y \\ E2Y \\ \end{matrix} \right]=E2\left[ \begin{matrix} EV_{X}^{2} \\ EV_{Y}^{2} \\ EV_{Z}^{2} \\ \end{matrix} \right],\left[ \begin{matrix} E3X \\ E3Y \\ E3Y \\ \end{matrix} \right]=E3\left[ \begin{matrix} EV_{X}^{3} \\ EV_{Y}^{3} \\ EV_{Z}^{3} \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & EV:EigenVectors(Strain) \\ & E1,E2,E3:Eigenvalues(Strain) \\ \end{aligned}\)

(These components are written when the output option is checked. Output Principal Component of Stress/Strain can be found under dialog where Home-Setting-Flexibility-Flexible tab.)

EINT

Intensity Strain.

EMISES

Von-Mises Strain.

SX,SY,SZ ,SXY,SYZ,SZY

Stress tensor measured in the inertia reference frame.

S1,S2,S3

Principal Stress.

S1X, S1Y, S1Z, S2X, S2Y, S2Z, S3X, S3Y, S3Z,

Vector of Principal Stress.

\(\begin{aligned} & \left[ \begin{matrix} S1X \\ S1Y \\ S1Y \\ \end{matrix} \right]=S1\left[ \begin{matrix} EV_{X}^{1} \\ EV_{Y}^{1} \\ EV_{Z}^{1} \\ \end{matrix} \right],\left[ \begin{matrix} S2X \\ S2Y \\ S2Y \\ \end{matrix} \right]=S2\left[ \begin{matrix} EV_{X}^{2} \\ EV_{Y}^{2} \\ EV_{Z}^{2} \\ \end{matrix} \right],\left[ \begin{matrix} S3X \\ S3Y \\ S3Y \\ \end{matrix} \right]=S3\left[ \begin{matrix} EV_{X}^{3} \\ EV_{Y}^{3} \\ EV_{Z}^{3} \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & EV:EigenVectors(Stress) \\ & S1,S2,S3:Eigenvalues(Stress) \\ \end{aligned}\)

(These components are written when the output option is checked. Output Principal Component of Stress/Strain can be found under dialog where Home-Setting-Flexibility-Flexible tab.)

SINT

Intensity Stress.

SMISES
