The results from the analysis defined in section 2 are read in to FEMVIEW and presented in a number of different ways.
Having started FEMGV :-
Step 1 | Prepare the model |
Read the mesh and results into FEMVIEW. |
UTILITY READ VIEWDATA train1.fvi Select FEMVIEW with the jobname TRAIN1 and display the outline view. FEMV TRAIN1 |
Step 2 | Check displacements results |
Find out what loadcases and results exist. |
UTILITY TABULATE LOADCASES The first loadcase has automatically been selected. |
Select resultant nodal displacements to be viewed.
RESULTS NODAL DI ALL VIEW MESH Look at the displaced shape. PRESENT SHAPE |
Figure 3.1: Displacement shape
Step 3 | Contour Stresses |
Select nodal stresses in the X direction.
RESULTS NODAL ST S11
Show the stress contours in ten steps.
PRESENT CONTOUR LEVELS
Scale the mesh to fit the frame.

Step 4 | Look at Von Mises Stresses |
Calculate Von Mises stresses. RESULTS CALCULATE VONMISES Show contours of the stresses. PRESENT CONTOUR LEVELS Show the actual values at the nodes. PRESENT NUMERIC Show the location of the minimum and maximum values. PRESENT PEAKS |
Step 5 | Draw a graph |
Put the node numbers on the mesh. LABEL MESH NODES Zoom in using the mouse/cursor to define two diagonally opposite corners of a rectangle containing the circle. EYE ZOOM IN . Select a number of nodes around the hole CONSTRUCT LINE NODE LIST 48 49 50 51 52 37 38 Draw a graph of the variation of the stress (VON MISES in this case) between the nodes specified. PRESENT GRAPH LINE OLD |
Step 6 | Stop the program |
STOP!
STOP
Confirm STOP.
