Firstly, please refer to the following KM and the subeqent link from the help: https://support.ansys.com/AnsysCustomerPortal/en_us/Knowledge+Resources/Solutions/Mechanical/2054474 https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v195/exd_ag/exd_ag_lsdyna_results.html Please note that tensorial Plastic strain components are not calculated and hence not written to the d3plot database for all the plasticity material models (such as *MAT_003). Now, even for materials where the solver writes out the plastic strain into the d3plot database (such as *MAT_024) one would need to request this output from the solver, this can be done by setting STRFLG=11 in the input deck for *DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY. The following command snippet is what one would need when running the analysis in WB LS-DYNA: *DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY $ neiph neips maxint strflg sigflg epsflg rltflg engflg 0 0 0 11 1 1 0 0 $ cmpflg ieverp beamip dcomp shge stssz n3thdt ialemat 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 $ nintsld pkp_sen sclp hydro msscl therm intout nodout 0 0 0 0 2 0 However, depending on the material moldel, it might be needed to post-process the plastic strain results in LS-PrePost.
