In some cases the local output directions may differ from one integration point to the next within an element. Tensor components in these cases are output in the rotating local directions. For finite-membrane-strain shell elements, membrane elements, and continuum elements associated with a local orientation (see Orientations, Section 2.2.5), the local output directions rotate with the average rotation of the element (integral with respect to time of the spin-see Stress rates, Section 1.5.3 of the ABAQUS Theory Manual). These directions are global directions for solid elements, surface directions for shell and membrane elements, and axial and transverse directions for beam elements.
Output for individual components of field output can be requested within the Visualization module of ABAQUS/CAE.ĭirection definitions for element variablesįor components of stress, strain, and other tensor quantities 1, 2, and 3 refer to the directions in an orthogonal coordinate system. If a particular component is desired for contouring in ABAQUS/CAE, request field output of the generic variable (e.g., S for stress). Individual component requests to the output database are not available for field-type output. Individual components of variables can be requested as history-type output in the output database for X–Y plotting in ABAQUS/CAE. Output for individual variables can be requested during postprocessing.
For postprocessing of a particular component of a variable, request file output for all components of the variable. Individual components cannot be requested in the results (. Similarly, variable identifiers of the form DEF can be used for the ranges of i and j indicated ( DEF11, DEF12, ). Variable identifiers of the form ABC n can be used with ( ABC1, ABC2, …), where the highest value of n is determined by the type of variable.
