Plot yielded elements

Plot yielded elements

Plot yielded elements

(OP)
Hi everybody,

I ran a 3D plastic model of mining labours in rock. Is it possible to plot in the Visualization Module only the yielded (plastified) elements?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Plot yielded elements

Why yes there is!
press 'plot contours on deformed shape'
select PE to plot (plastic strain)
go to view cut, make a new one w isosurface, set limit > 0, done!

Alternatively: select LE to plot
go to view cut, make a new one w isosurface, set limit > 'your plastic strain limit', done!

I believe you need to have abaqus version > 6.10 for it though.

Thank you, Sdebock, what a fast answer!

The simplicity of one who knows. Very easy (and helpful).

Regards
FGS
