Hey,
im working with Composite Structures in Patran and have a question about the Fringe Plot.
The Problem is that i have multiple layers and i want to show tensile and compression stresses in one plot, for example in x-direction. So far i need two plots, one with the maximum and one with the minimum Values for all layers.
Is there a solution to show the maxiumum absolute values, with negative and positive stresses in one plot? For example:
Layer 1: 100MPa max., 50MPa min.
Layer 2: 80MPa max. and -30MPa min.
The Fringe Plot should show 100MPa max. and -30MPa min.
