Visualization of results
(OP)
Hi ever
I have modeled symmetric analysis of a circular plate loaded by a ring.I have used abaqus CAE for prepocessing file. The material is elastic isotropic, then I used 3D general static analysys and mesh with 3Dquad elements.
I need to visualize the results and know the displacement where I have applied the load but in visualization I didn't find how I can visalize the node where I have applied force and their displacement at the same time.
I think the model itself is somehow OK, some suggestion??
thanks

RE: Visualization of results
In order to read the node numbers during post processing, you may have to work with an orphan mesh. Then you could look up the node number where the load is applied in assembly and then go to visualizer and look up the displacement on the same node number.

You may want to use path in viewer if you want the result along a edge.
RE: Visualization of results
Gurmeet what is an orphan mesh??you means dependent or independent instance?
How I can visualize with cae..?for example I have apply the load to a circular plate on a ring of 1mm thickness at radius r but I don't know whate nodes are (my problem is know which are the node of interests).
can I have a graphical visualization?
RE: Visualization of results
If I use the theory of plate and solve an analytycal solution for the plate pinned at the end with a line load on acircle of radius r you think the number that I will find should be approximately the same order of the numerical solution, (for displacement, stress etc)?
RE: Visualization of results
The plates FE are based on a specific theory (e.g.,on Kirchhoff theory) . Therefore, when comparing the numerical solution to the corresponding analytical solution of the same problem, it is best to use the FE based on the same theory as the analytical solution.

Since you do not find the program intuitive, I recommend you reading the "ABAQUS/CAE User's Manual".

If you do not like to moified the CAE file and rerun the analysis. read the following may help you.
ABAQUS manual 6.6 Section.
31. Viewing results along a path
However, If you just need to know the value of a single node, I would just go in viewer, Report Tab> Field output> and output the require the field with the node number that you applied the load on.
To turn on the node number in viewer, in Version 6.6. the icon under Module called common option> labels tab> show node label.
