Extract and Linearize
In version 2021, the Stress Linearization tool was renamed as Extract-Linearize and now supports both the Extract Data and Stress Linearization methods. Starting in version 2022.2, Strain Linearization will also be supported.
- Extract Data
-
Extract any contour data at various points along a path defined on solid elements.
- Stress or Strain Linearization
-
Extract stress or strain data at various points along a path (also known as stress classification line) defined on solid elements and then calculate linearized stresses or strains based on these extracted values.
Extract Data | Stress or Strain Linearization | |
---|---|---|
Purpose | Extract any contoured data along a path | Extract stress or strain data along a path and calculate linearized stresses |
Resolved in System | Contour Resolved in System | Transformed to a path based local system |
Calculation Data Type | Displayed Contour | Base Stress or Strain Tensor or Displayed Stress or Strain Contour |
Plot Options | Distance along path versus Extracted values (single curve) | Distance along path versus Extracted and Linearized values (multiple curves) |
