Finding Radial Stress

Finding Radial Stress

Finding Radial Stress

(OP)
If I have a cylinder shaped part, is ther a way of making ABAQUS show circumferential and radial stresses?

Do i have to introduce a cylindrical coordintate system before running the job?

Thanks

RE: Finding Radial Stress

You can create a cylindrical coordinate system in the post-processor, and transpose the results to that coordinate system.  Voila - hoop, radial, and axial stresses.

RE: Finding Radial Stress

(OP)
How do you transpose the data to the new coordinate system?

Thanks

RE: Finding Radial Stress

Results - Options, Transformation Tab, Select User-Specified, and then select the coordinate system.

(Note that this doesn't work with Shell Elements, as the 1-2-3 designation in them is NOT related to the global Cartesian coordinate system.)
