Action: PrincLc

PrincLc Calculates principal stresses for certain load case.

SettingDescription
Action will be skipped (Option) The action will be skipped in the calculation process if the option is selected.
Command This is automatically assigned from the previous selection - it can not be edited in this pad.
Load case name Name of the load case, for which the principal stresses will be calculated.
Princ||Mises||Shear||Shear-Qy||Shear-Qz There is necessary to choose the type of principal stresses to be calculated.
SettingDescription
Princ The principal stresses will be calculated
Mises The equivalent stresses according Von Mises rule will be calculated
Shear The mean shear stress according Tresca rule will be calculated
Shear-Qy The shear stress in global Y direction, caused by Qy, Qz and Mx (sum of them) will be calculated
Shear-Qz The shear stress in global Z direction, caused by Qy, Qz and Mx (sum of them) will be calculated
(Stress limit) Not necessary input. If the stress limit is input, only stress values for elements, which overstep the limit, will be print out (absolute limit).
List File Name of list file, where the principal tensile stresses will be stored.
  • -If the default '*' is accepted, the name of the list file is set automatically prch0001.lst if the load case name is 1
  • -If there is no input, no list file will be created!
Delta-T Duration of the Action (not applicable for this action)
