Real Solid Stress Tensor#

Real Solid Stress Tensor = {yes | no}

Description / Usage#

The real solid stress tensor is associated with the equations of elasticity. If the mesh motion is of LAGRANGIAN type, then these quantities are not available; if is of TOTAL_ALE type, they are available. The stress tensor has six entries (in three dimensions because it is symmetric) called T11_RS, T22_RS, T33_RS, T12_RS, T13_RS, and T23_RS in the output EXODUS II file.

The permissible values for this postprocessing option are:

yes

Calculate the real solid stress tensor and write to the output EXODUS II file.

no

Do not calculate the real solid stress tensor.

Examples#

No stress tensor is written for the following sample input card:

Real Solid Stress Tensor = no

Technical Discussion#

This option is applicable only to TOTAL_ALE mesh motion types (see Mesh Motion card). Compare this with Mesh Stress Tensor post processing option for other types of mesh motion.
