Appendix 2: FEMVIEW Calculation Types


The following is a list of the available FEMVIEW calculations to be used when defining result records.

FEMVIEW predefined calculations are, at present, limited to operations on a single attribute. The result of the calculation is also a single attribute. The calculations may either be defined by the Database Interface Routines, in which case they look like any other attribute for selection in the FEMVIEW menu, or the 'RESULTS CALCULATE' command can be used to perform the calculation on the current attribute, while running FEMVIEW.

Calculation Name Calculation Number Description
ALL

1 This calculation reconstitutes a three component vector from

the sub-components in this or the named attribute. To be used

when displayed as 'VECTOR' or 'SHAPE', or when the resultant

is required in a scalar presentation display such as ‘NUMERICS'or ‘CONTOUR’.

VONMISES

2 Calculates the Von Mises Equivalent Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
P1-STRES 3 Calculates the 1st Principal Stress vector from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
P2-STRES 4 Calculates the 2nd Principal Stress vector from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
P3-STRES 5 Calculates the 3rd Principal Stress vector from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
Q1-STRES 6 Calculates the 1st Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
Q2-STRES 7 Calculates the 2nd Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
Q3-STRES 8 Calculates the 3rd Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
QMAX  
 
9 Calculates the Maximum Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
P-YIELD 10 Calculates the Plastic Yield from input value and this or the named attributes stress matrix.
Q1-PRINC 11 Calculates the 1st Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes principal stresses.
Q2-PRINC 12 Calculates the 2nd Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes principal stresses.
Q3-PRINC 13 Calculates the 3rd Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes principal stresses.


QMAX-PRN

14 Calculates the Maximum Principal Shear Stress from this or the named attributes principal stresses.
PRESSURE

15 Calculates pressure from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
ALL-PRNC

16 Calculates the Principal stress vectors (for vector presentations attributes stress matrix) from this or the named attributes principal stresses.
ALL-STRS 17 Calculates all the Principal Stresses from this or the named attributes stress matrix.
