How to average XY-Data?
How to average XY-Data?
(OP)
Hello there!
I have some problems with the abaqus software. I am very new to it but I have to work with it for my bachelor thesis. So brace yourselfs: Stupid questions incoming!
I am doing some research on the size effect of reinforced concrete beams without stirrups (only longitudinal reinforcement).
Since I'm still getting in touch with the whole result analyzing and comprehension, I am doing some experiments with the XY-data. I'd like to plot X: Displacement vs. Y: Reaction force.
Now I operated on the XY Data like it is described in the manual. I summed up the reaction forces-> no problem. Next step: I want to average the displacement of the nodes in the middle cross-section. User manual says, that I should use the "currentAvg"-Function. But abaqus says, that my arguments are illegal to the built-in operator.
What does this mean?
I guess I would need some kind of function like sum(currentAvg( Node1,Node2,N3....))? Maybe I got something wrong from the manual, since I am not a native english speaker and the software itself is kind of complex which complicates the understanding of it. But I don't understand why abaqus can't average the Data...
I appreciate any help!
