Combining two field output requests

Combining two field output requests

Combining two field output requests

(OP)
Right, I have the field output of S11, and the field output of S22, unfortunately, I want the radial field output, which is a combination of the two.

Is there anyway to pythagoras up S11 and S22 to give me my desired field output?

Literally, I just want to be able to go to the values of S11 & S22

( (S11)**2 + (S22)**2) ) **0.5

(Also, a question which I will probably make a new thread for, but if anyone knows the answer to, how can I synchronise a plot and a abaqus animation, such that the field output of say, Force and Displacement, are plotted in real time with the abaqus animation as they occur?)

Many thanks for all help,

Twaj

RE: Combining two field output requests

Stresses (assuming tha S11 and S22 are stresses) are not forces, you are dealing with a stress tensor so simple pythagoras would not work. Any book on strength of materials can tell you how to transform stresses to a different angle / plane.

I think function you are looking for is described here:
Abaqus/CAE User's Manual, 42.7 Creating new field output

Make two viewports, one with animation, one with graph.
Options -> Animation -> Viewports -> select viewports you want to synchronize.

That's actually brilliant. Thank you very much akabarten

RE: Combining two field output requests

If you want S11 (stress in radial direction for Cyl. CSYS) and you have a user-defined coorindate system for cylindrical coords, you can click on results->options->transformation->user_specified to transform the default (x,y,z) display for field output to (radial,tangential,axial).
