Description[edit | edit source]

Creates a stress linearization plot.

To learn more about stress linearization plots, you can read this description.

A stress linearization plot.

Usage[edit | edit source]

  1. Select a previously created Line clip filter with one of the following stress quantities plotted:
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
  3. An XY plot with linearized stress values (membrane, membrane+bending and total) along the line will be created in a separate window. The stress quantity plotted in the Line clip filter will be used for linearized stresses computation.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • The results of this tool should be interpreted carefully because the usual stress linearization procedure is not performed on equivalent stresses (such as von Mises and Tresca) and uses local instead of global coordinates.
