Plot hysteresis curve

Hi all,

is there any tutorial around showing how to plot a hysteresis curve from a STAT-NON-LIN calculation. I haven't spent much thought on that yet, but in case there is a tutorial to follow would speed things up a lot. My calculation includes prestressing up to t=3sec, unloading at t=4sec and final stressing at t=6sec.

Thanks in advance,

Re: Plot hysteresis curve

hello

if the question is plotting a nodal value at every instant
RECU_FONCTION
then
IMPR_FONCTION(
    FORMAT='XMGRACE',
will do the job

there is an example in my book

Re: Plot hysteresis curve

hello,

that is the question. Thanks for the input.

Quite simple if one sees it that way. There is a German saying that fits perfectly here: "When you don't see woods because of all the trees." (Wenn man den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht sieht.)
