Pre-defined FEMVIEW Calculations

  FEMVIEW predefined calculations are, at present, limited to operations on a single attribute. The result of the calculation is also a single attribute.

The calculation may either be defined in the input file, in which case they look like any other attribute for selection in the FEMVIEW menu, or the `RESULTS CALCULATE' command can be used to perform the calculation on the current attribute.

FEMVIEW currently provides the following calculations :

ALL

  This calculation reconstitutes a three component vector from the sub-components in this or the named attribute. To be used when displayed as `VECTOR' or `SHAPE', or when the resultant is required in a scalar presentation display such as `NUMERICS' or `CONTOUR'.

VONMISES

  Calculates the Von Mises Equivalent Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

P1-STRES

  Calculates the 1st Principal Stress vector from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

P2-STRES

  Calculates the 2nd Principal Stress vector from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

P3-STRES

  Calculates the 3rd Principal Stress vector from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

Q1-STRES

  Calculates the 1st Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

Q2-STRES

  Calculates the 2nd Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

Q3-STRES

  Calculates the 3rd Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

QMAX

  Calculates the Maximum Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

P-YIELD

  Calculates the Plastic Yield Stress from input value and this or the named attributes stress matrix.

Q1-PRINC

  Calculates the 1st Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes principal stresses.

Q2-PRINC

  Calculates the 2nd Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes principal stresses.

Q3-PRINC

  Calculates the 3rd Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes principal stresses.

QMAX-PRN

  Calculates the Maximum Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes principal stresses.

PRESSURE

  Calculates pressure from this or the named attributes stress matrix.

ALL-PRNC

  Calculates the Principal stress vectors (for vector presentations) from this or the named attributes principal stresses.

ALL-STRS

  Calculates all the Principal Stresses from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
