Dear Sir

I want to get In-plane strain in LSPP and I find a website that described how to get In-plane.

https://www.dynasupport.com/howtos/element/shell-strain

I couldn't find the function of "History > Element > Lower surface principal strain" so I couldn't get the In-plane strain with a plot.

I have tried to use "History > Scalar" but it only can select elements one by one, so it would spend a lot of time to select elements.

Could you please tell me If any solution can show "History > Element > Lower surface principal strain" or use can select elements tools in "History > Scalar"?

Thanks!

Hello,

Try setting STRFLG=1 on *DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY to activate the strain output in d3plot. Then use History > Element to plot the strain histories in LSPP.

Regards,

AK

Dear AK

Thanks for your reply.
LSPP History->Element doesn't contain "In-plane strain", in-plane strain is different with prin-strain and effective strain.
The article(below link) shows using "History > Element > Lower surface principal strain" can plot In-plane strain, but I can't find it in LSPP 4.9.

Have any function can plot In-plane strain in LSPP?

Hello,

You can fringe plot as follows:

Hi Reno

Thanks for your reply.
I could fringe plot as your way, I want to know detail strain result so I need to plot 2D-diagram.
how to LSPP plot 2D in-plane-strain Dialog for many elements?
I have tried History->Scalar but it couldn't select elements with GUI.
