The maximum shear stress criterion, also known as Tresca yield criterion, is based on the Maximum Shear stress theory. This theory predicts failure of a material to occur when the absolute maximum shear stress (τmax ) reaches the stress that causes the material to yield in a simple tension test. …

Inserts images into reports. Images that you insert capture the current state of the model, mesh, or results. If any of these change, these images do not update the next time you publish the report. To access this PropertyManager, do one of the following: In the Simulation study tree, right-click …

The Probe function allows you to query a plot and view the values of plotted quantities at defined nodes or centers of elements. When you probe a mesh plot, the software displays the node or element number and the global coordinates of the node. When you probe a result plot, …

The Table of Comparison box displays comparison results between two Simulation studies, or one Simulation study and reference channel data. For each reference channel, the table displays: Name Channel name. Difference (Simulation value – Reference value) / Reference value *100 (%). Component Result component. Reference Value Channel reference value. Simulation …

You can annotate locations of extreme values in result plots. The program shows the numerical values and creates leaders to the corresponding locations automatically. To show extreme value annotations on new plots: Click Simulation > Options. In the dialog box, on the Default Options tab, select Plot in the tree. …

To copy a plot between studies of the same type: In the Simulation study tree, activate the plot that you want to copy by double-clicking on its icon in the source study. Right-click the plot icon and select Copy. In the destination study, right-click the desired result folder and select …

The Time History Graph PropertyManager allows you to generate a 2D graph of the results at certain locations. Time history graphs are available for nonlinear, drop test, and modal time history analyses. For transient thermal studies, use the probe tool to create time history graphs at certain locations. Response Predefined …

The Define Velocity Plot PropertyManager allows you to plot acceleration results for linear and nonlinear dynamic studies. To display this PropertyManager, run a dynamic study. Right-click Results and select Define Velocity Plot. Display Component Select a velocity component VX: X Velocity VY: Y Velocity VZ: Z Velocity VRES: Resultant Velocity …

EPSX Normal strain in the X-direction of the selected reference geometry EPSY Normal strain in the Y-direction of the selected reference geometry EPSZ Normal strain in the Z-direction of the selected reference geometry GMXY Shear strain in the Y direction in the YZ-plane of the selected reference geometry GMXZ Shear …

The Library Values folder contains all input values related to defining a load, fixture, or connection item marked as a library feature. For example, when you define a load, you provide numerical values for the components of the load. When you mark this load as a library feature, the numerical …
