Creating a stress envelope from mulitple load steps in ADPL
Creating a stress envelope from mulitple load steps in ADPL
(OP)
Hello,
I'm solving various load steps using the lssolve command an want to make a stress plot of the maximum equivalent stress of all load cases. Also I would like a plot which indicates the governing load step. How can this be done?
Thanks,
Bart

RE: Creating a stress envelope from mulitple load steps in ADPL
Something like this:
and then use smax to find the maximum
As for your second question, is time of maximum value what you are looking for? I don't know how to do this in APDL, but this is readily available in workbench, as is the max over time result. These are available for almost all result object in the solution branch of workbench.
Hope this helps

That was exactly what I was looking for! Now I'm still figuring out a way to make an etable which shows which step was governing for that element.
Sorry for my late reply.
Kind regards,
