Displaying Stress Contours Effectively

Displaying Stress Contours Effectively

Displaying Stress Contours Effectively

(OP)
Hi all,

I am trying to display stress intervals for various time increments in a large deformation problem.  I wish to fix the upper and lower limits for the contour values and show how the stress changes from start to end of the dynamic analysis.  However, when fixing the stress contours from lowest to highest values, I am not able to see the distribution at all until right around the max values (middle of the analysis).  I would like to create pictures at the 0,0.5,1.0,1.5, and 2.0 second marks to show the evolution of stress (1.0 second being the halfway point).  If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.  I have tried plotting the log values and get the same thing...

Thanks,
Chris

Presumably you're using the animation feature. You could always plot each required frame as a separate picture, convert to gif, and use some gif animation program, or alternatively write a Visual basic program to upload and display each separate picture continuously.
