The Results Available for DES Elements

The results available for DES elements

DES elements write out a variable length block of data that can contain all or a subset of the following 13 values per element to the .PTF file:

  • Radius (1 value)
  • Mass (1 value)
  • Inertia (1 value)
  • Active flag (1 value)
  • Stress tensor (6 values)
  • Volumetric strain (1 value)
  • Damage Parameter (1 value)
  • Internal energy (1 value)

The following tables show the raw data component names, and also those derived by D3PLOT.

Symmetric stress tensor:

X_DIRECT_STRESS

Y_DIRECT_STRESS

Z_DIRECT_STRESS

XY_SHEAR_STRESS

YZ_SHEAR_STRESS

ZX_SHEAR_STRESS

This is written in the global cartesian coordinate system.

The stress components that can be derived this by D3PLOT are:

MAX_PRINC_STRESS

MID_PRINC_STRESS

MIN_PRINC_STRESS

YIELD_UTILISATION_FACTOR

MAX_DEV_PRINC_STRESS

MID_DEV_PRINC_STRESS

MIN_DEV_PRINC_STRESS

YIELD_UTILISATION_PERCENTAGE

VON_MISES_STRESS

SIGNED_VON_MISES_STRESS

MAX_SHEAR_STRESS

LODE_PARAMETER

PRESSURE

TRIAXIALITY

LODE_ANGLE

LODE_PARAMETER_ALT

Further DES-only components
