Compute FE Part Stress and Strain
Durability → FE Part Output
Allows you to specify the stress/strain channels on a FE Part that you want to plot. These values can be used to generate X-Y plots of FE_Part stress or strain time histories.
The stress/strain can be computed either at one or more nodes on a FE_PART or one or more markers. Once the Analysis, FE Part, Location and Marker/Node information is specified along with the Stress/Strain option and type, Adams Durability stores the stress or strain components in a FE_PART result set for the specified analysis. It adds the following field to the Adams View database for the FE Part being analyzed:
FE_Part_name_STRESS.NodeName_Value (for stress components)
FE_Part_name_STRAIN.NodeName_Value (for strain components)
Where:
■FE_Part_name is the name of your FE Part
■NodeName is the FE Part node name whose stress or strain you are calculating
■_Value is the value of stress or strain you're calculating
For the option: | Do the following: |
|---|
|
Analysis | Enter the name of a previously run analysis. |
FE Part | Enter the name of the FE Part. |
Location | Either Marker or Node can be selected from this option menu. That is, the stress or strain values can be generated either at the selected nodes of the FE Part centre-line or at specified markers. |
Marker Name | This option is available only when Marker is selected in the Location option menu above. You can enter one or more markers here. |
Node Name | This option is available only when Node is selected in the Location option menu above. You can enter one or more nodes on FE Parts here. |
Type Options | Select Stress or Strain. |
Value | Select the value of stress or strain you want to calculate. |
