Hello,

 

I'm using the SPH method to simulate a high-speed ballistic impact problem. I want to output the strain energy of the individual particle. I cannot find the strain energy icon in the #History in LS-Prepost, but I find it in the Fringe Component.

I can only display the contours of the strain energy, but I don't know how to output these values as XY pairs.

Could you show me the steps in detail?

 

Best,

Rong

Hello, 

1. Plot the fringe (Plot->FriComp) e.g., volumetric strain 
2. Plot->History->Scalar, you will be able to plot that the fring for a node/element
