stress analysis on a surface

Submitted by mkt1363 on Thu, 08/27/2015 - 15:58

Hi,

I am trying to extract the shear stress on every mesh element of a surface/mesh/stress using "dump mesh/vtk" as instructed in the manual. The problem here is that I can't understand the structure of the output file. Do you have any tip or do you know any better way in this regard.

Thank you.
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,

the output file is of filetype VTK and can be visualized e.g. with Paraview

Hi christoph,

In the "dump mesh/vtk" values for my code, I have written " cad2 output face stress" . When I opened the dump file, I could not understand the output. Can you please help me with knowing what are the parameters that are out fro my command and how are they arranged in the dump file ? Because I need to extract it for other purposes and not just visualise it.

Thanks & regards
Anand
