Visulize the results for dynamic stage only

Hi,

I want to ask if STKO supports visulization results for a particular stage only. Say, I have a model and I applied gravity load first (stage 1), next I applied EQ motion (stage 2). Now I want to only visulize the deformation under EQ motion (stage 2) only. How can I do that?

Re: Pressure in quad element

Do you mean STKO uses different equations for pressure in 2D and 3D cases? i.e. (sigma11+sigma22)/2 for 2D and (sigma11+sigma22+sigma33)/3 for 3D?

For PlaneStrain 2D problem, the sigma33 is not zero and equals to Poisson’s ratio ν times (sigma11+sigma22). Are you completely ignore sigma33? And even ...

Pressure in quad element

Hello,

I have a question about the pressure in 2D planestrain quad elements.

While visulizing the pressure in STKO post-processor, I found that the pressure for 2D planestrain quad elements equal to (sigma11+sigma22)/2. Why not 1/3*(sigma11+sigma22+sigma33)?

For 2D planestrain problem, strain in ...

Gauss point location

Hi,

I have a simple model of cantilever beam under tip horizontal load, which consists of two displacement-based beam elements. Each displacement-based beam elements have two integration points and following Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule. The location of Gauss points should be inside the beam ...
