LUSAS User Area
Typical message from LUSAS Modeller text output pane:
Plastic strains not available or active
set has different material properties. Change active set
To obtain plastic strains it is necessary
to only select those elements that have the plastic material
assigned to them. To do this...
- Load the results
(*.MYS) file on top of
the model (*.MDL) file
- Go to the TreeView Layers tab. Check that
Geometry and Mesh
layers are both visible (listed in the TreeView).
If they are not, add the layers using the menu item:
View > Insert layer
- Go to the TreeView Loadcase tab. Right-click
on any "model data" loadcase (rather than a "result runs" loadcase)
and choose "set active"
- Go to the TreeView Attribute tab. Right-click
on the appropriate plastic material model and choose "select
user"
- Create a group of only these elements, using the menu
item:
Geometry > Group > New group
- Go to the TreeView Groups tab. Right-click
on the group that has just been created and choose "set
as only invisible"
You should then be able to plot the plastic strains as
required.
