Stress and Strain Section Plot Results

 

 

This tool allows displaying stresses and elastic strains in an element’s section.

 

Data are distributed in the window as shown in the figure:

 

 

 

 

 

Each of the allowable options in this window is described hereafter.

 

Bar Menu

 

Section Menu

 

 

Solid Section – Selects a solid section to represent its stresses or elastic strains.

Element Number – Selects a beam or shell section  to represent its stresses or elastic strains.

 Quit – Closes the window.

 

Select Menu

 

The section’s elements be represented are chosen with this menu (tessellum, points, reinforcements or plates).

 

 

Tessella, Points, Reinforcements, Plates – Type of representation.

By Material type – Selects for the representation, elements with specified material:

-          Generic – All .

-          Structural Steel

-          Concrete

-          Reinforcing Steel

By Material number – Represents those elements whose material number is the same as the one entered by the user.

Type of representation: stresses or elastic strains.

 

Stress – Sx : Represents stress in the X direction of the section.

Stress – Sy : Represents stress in the Y direction of the section.

Stress – Sz : Represents stress in the Z direction of the section.

Stress – Sxy : Represents XY tangential stress of the section.

Stress – Sxz : Represents XZ tangential stress of the section.

Stress – Syz : Represents YZ tangential stress of the section.

Strain – Epx : Represents elastic strain in the X direction of the section.

Strain – Epy : Represents elastic strain in the Y direction of the section.

Strain – Epz : Represents elastic strain in the Z direction of the section.

Strain – Epxy : Represents XY tangential elastic strain of the section.

Strain – Epxz : Represents XZ tangential elastic strain of the section.

Strain – Epyz : Represents YZ tangential elastic strain of the section.
