Reply To: Initial Stress Shell Application and HistVarCosine in LS-DYNA

[Reno Genest]

Hello,

The Post > Vector > Hist. var. cosine is used to plot vectors of material direction using the material direction cosines stored in history variables for certain materials. You will find more information in the LS-DYNA User Manual Vol I: LS-DYNA Keyword Manual

Also, you can visualize material directions for composite material models as explained in the following LSPP presentation: Composite Capability in LS-PrePost.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Reno.
