Stresses from Coque_3D ?

anders82 · 2013-10-21 14:31:06

Hi All,

I am new here (and to Salome-Meca/Code_Aster). My intentions are to use the package for detailed FE calculations of tubular joints with regards to stress concentration factors used for fatigue life assessment.

Currently I am trying to determine how to evaluate the stresses in the quadratic shell elements (Coque_3D), as this is essential to my task at hand.

My starting point is the simple tutorial found here; a simply supported plate of dimensions 1.000x1.000x0.001m. The model is meshed with quad8 elements.

My command file can be seen below. This enables me to plot/preview deformations, but not stresses. I have tried various approaches, from different tutorials or examples found on the web (e.g. here), but none have worked so far.
I am using Salome-Meca 2013.2 with Code_Aster 11.4 (The newest package downloadable from www.code-aster.org).

My question/plea is then if anyone has any constructive input to the approach I need to take ?

hello

with a pressure stresses in the neutral fiber are null
this adds calculation for the top face

RESU=CALC_CHAMP(
	...................
);

#on the top face	
resu2=POST_CHAMP(
	RESULTAT=RESU,
    EXTR_COQUE=_F(
        NUME_COUCHE=1,
        NIVE_COUCHE='SUP',
        NOM_CHAM=('SIGM_ELNO',),
    ),
);

#invariants
resusup=CALC_CHAMP(
    RESULTAT=resu2,
    CRITERES=('SIEQ_ELNO','SIEQ_NOEU',),
);

Hoi

that example is for pre C-A11.4.
These may be used with C-A11.X, depending on what postprocessor you like [postpro or paravis]:

or

Thank you all for the helpful replies, they are muchly appreciated!

@keetwouters:

I have used post-pro, but only because the first tutorial I tried used that, I have no preference as such...

I have tried to follow the example you set forth in http://www.caelinux.org/wiki/index.php/ /plotcoq3d, but generating the geometry through Salome-meca. I have furthermore disabled some of the more advanced functions (variable thickness, multiple load cases).

I am able to run the model and import the results into post-pro, but then for some reason, I am only able to plot the results on the edges (See attached: PostPro.png - Note how I have three groups on my mesh, the two edges for BCs, and then the shell, but in post pro only the two edge groups remain). I am not able to plot results onto the wireframe mesh, or onto the surface.

Any ideas what I may have done wrong, or why I experience this issue?

I figured it out. Due to my inexperience with the software, I didn't realize that I needed to specifiy result files for 81 and 82 as well.

Once again, thank you all for the input and help.

Hoi Anders

I figured it out. Due to my inexperience with the software, I didn't realize that I needed to specifiy result files for 81 and 82 as well.

That should be noticed by a copy error in the *.mess file.
Postpro is not available anymore in Salome7.X. So paraviz will be the future I presume.
