RESULTS GAUSSIAN Attribute [Component] [Complex_part]

                    

This command is used to specify the element Gaussian attribute and component of analysis results required for assessment. In general the names of the attributes and components will be user-defined, and these will be offered in the form of a menu in a similar way to the standard commands available in FEMVIEW..

Gaussian results in FEMVIEW are sets of results submitted at a Gauss-point or reference point within the element. They are submitted on an elementwise basis, and the global coordinates of the Gauss-point or reference point are input with the results. A maximum of 27 different Gauss-points may be given for each element, while there is no limitation for the number of surfaces for which results can be input.

For selection of the required surface see also the RESULTS RANGE command. If no surface is specified, and results are available at more than one surface, the default condition is that values for the first surface will be selected.

For components which are complex an optional function can be specified by the user to produce a real value that can be presented. If the complex number is represented by x + iy the functions that can be applied are:

Complex_part Comments Equation used

REAL Produces the real component of the complex x number. (This is the default if no function is specified)

IMAGINARY Produces the complex component of the y complex number.

$$\theta x\cos\theta + y\sin\theta$$ Resolves the complex number at a given

$$\theta \theta$$

$$\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$$ MAGNITUDE Produces the magnitude of the complex number.

$$\tan ^{-1}(y/x)$$ PHASE Calculates the phase angle of the complex number. The angle returned is in the range

$$\pm 180$$

Notes:

It is possible to define results that have no `Component' names; for example, Von Mises stress.

RESULTS GAUSSIAN STRESS S22

This selects the S22 component of the stress results for the current loadcase
