Stress Manipulation

This tool allows the derivation of additional results (scalars, ratios & in-plane stresses from tensors) based on the effective stress or any other user selected stress type.

Additionally, it also converts results from engineering (tension positive) to geological (compression positive) convention.
  1. Select the Stress Manipulation tool from the Select GeoD Tool dropdown list.
    Figure 1.
  2. Click on the file browser button adjacent to the Load Model field and browse and select the demo-eff.h3d file and click Open.
  3. Click Apply.
    The model and result files are loaded in the HyperView window.
    Figure 2.
  4. Click Next to move to the next step in the process.
  5. Select LateralLoading subcase check box from the Subcase table.
    Note: Once you select the subcase, all the other sections is activated.
  6. Select Increment 10 from the Simulation table.
    Figure 3.
  7. Select S-Global-Stress components IP stress component from the Derive Results Based On table.
    Figure 4.
    Note: Along with the default selected stress, you can select any one of the available stress result data types or all of the stresses depending upon on the requirement.
  8. Select the required results from the Results to Propagate table to propagate into the new h3d file.
    Figure 5.
    Note: Uncheck the results that are not required to be propagated into the new h3d file.
  9. Click the Components button.
    Extended Entity Selection window opens.
    Figure 6.
  10. Select the component by any method in the Extended Entity Selection window.
  11. Click the Displayed button adjacent to the Components button.
    Figure 7.
    The components is highlighted in the graphics area.
  12. Click Next to move to the next step in the process.
  13. Select the required results from the Standard Results table.
    Figure 8.
    Note: By default, the Principal stress is selected.
  14. Select the required results from the Derived Scalars table.
    Figure 9.
  15. Select the required results from the In-Plane from Tensor table.
    Figure 10.
  16. Select the required ratios from the Ratios table.
    Figure 11.
  17. Click the file browser button in the Output file text field.
    A file selection window opens.
  18. Browse and select the destination folder and click Save.
  19. Click Generate H3D.
    An information message is displayed.
    Figure 12.
    Note: H3D file is generated using HV Trans result translator.
  20. Once the H3D file is generated, a confirmation window opens.
    Figure 13.
  21. After the completion of the process, load the newly created H3D file into HyperView window along with the other propagated results.
