CT Plot of Plastic Strains
CT Plot of Plastic Strains
The panel for is shown below:
You are able to plot effective plastic strain values on initial stress cards in a number of ways. For parametric coordinates, the panel will contain a list of parametric coordinates of through-thickness shell integration points (-1 to 1 inclusive) sorted in ascending order. For integration points, the panel will contain a list of integration point numbers through the thickness. Finally, you can plot the maximum or minimum strain values for each shell. If the model(s) currently loaded in PRIMER does not contain effective plastic strain data, the list "Shell intg pts" shown above is blank.
The effective plastic strains at any one of the listed locations can be plotted for all elements in the model(s) by selecting an item from the list and clicking 'Update' .
