Comments

  1. Stress and strain tensor are output in the elemental coordinate system.
  2. The STRESS output for Keyword6=N, UPPER or LOWER must have N>0 defined in the shell property. When using global integration (N=0 in the shell property), Radioss will output the stress at the midplane, even if the stress at UPPER/LOWER is requested.
  3. The stress at UPPER/LOWER is the stress at the upper most/lower most integration point and not an interpolated value based on curvature, like the strain.
  4. Strain tensor is output only if Istrain =1 in shell property for material laws < /MAT/LAW25 (COMPSH); except laws /MAT/LAW15 (CHANG) and /MAT/LAW19 (FABRI). For all other material laws, the value of Istrain does not matter.
  5. STRAIN output is extrapolated to the outer surfaces. Keyword6=UPPER uses the formula ε + ( t 2 ) k MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9 vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0=yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr=x fr=xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaGaeqyTduMaey 4kaSYaaeWaaeaadaWcaaqaaiaadshaaeaacaaIYaaaaaGaayjkaiaa wMcaaiaadUgaaaa@3CBD@ and Keyword6=LOWER uses the formula ε ( t 2 ) k MathType@MTEF@5@5@+= feaagKart1ev2aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq=Jc9 vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0=yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr=x fr=xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaGaeqyTduMaey OeI0YaaeWaaeaadaWcaaqaaiaadshaaeaacaaIYaaaaaGaayjkaiaa wMcaaiaadUgaaaa@3CC8@ .

    Curvature

    For EPSDOT, strain and curvature are replaced by strain rate and curvature rate.

  6. Options /ANIM/SHELL/TENS/STRESS/MEMB and /ANIM/SHELL/TENS/STRESS/BEND are generalized stresses (mean values through thickness) per element.
  7. For fully-integrated elements, the mean value of 4 Gauss points of the shell surface is calculated. Shell stress can be considered at the center of the element.
  8. For /PROP/TYPE51 or /PCOMPP composite properties, if Keyword6 is not defined.

    If Keyword5=ALL, the result is output for all layers and the value per layer is the average value of the through thickness integration points in the layer.

    If Keyword5=LOWER, the result is the value of the first integration point of the first layer.

    If Keyword5=UPPER, the result is the value of the last integration point of the last layer.

  9. Keyword6 limitations:

    It can only be used with /PROP/TYPE51 or /PCOMPP composite properties and only if Keyword5=N, the layer number. However, Keyword5=ALL can be combined with Keyword6=ALL to output all layers and all integration points. If Keyword6=ALL, results for 10 integration points will be output, even if less integration points were defined in each layer and thus some results will be zero.
