Stress and Strain outputs

Post by yingying » Sun Dec 24, 2017 3:06 am

The recorder for stress and strains, what are the headings that are outputted?

Why are there more columns for stress and which are the columns I need to find the shear stresses and strains?

For uniaxial materials, output strains are axial stress and strain. Therefore, you cannot find the shear stresses and strains. Which material and element are you using?

I am using a PressureDependMultiYield material (I am trying to model soils).

Could you please check the OUTPUT INTERFACE section in the following link. Output stress and strain components are described there
