How to get a more smoothe stress-strain curve?
- Thread starter Bigtree
- Start date
The ABAQUS 2D curve plot is based on a linear interpolation of a seqeuence of points.
You can:
-copy-paste the data to Excel (or a similar program) and plot the data using a higher order interpolation functions (i.e. cubic spline). Of course, you can write your own code for higher order interpolation in ABAQUS Scripting Interface, generate additional points and plot them in CAE.
-if your data have been obtained as value vs. time than you can prescribe a smaller maximum time increment to obtain more values.
