Max of corner averaging means that the maximum value from all the corners of an element
are extracted and the value is shown at the centroid of the element.
Max of corner averaging means that the maximum value from all
the corners of an element are extracted and the value is shown at the centroid of the element.
The tensor and vector components are extracted and the invariants are computed for each corner
prior to assigning to the element centroid. For result components, the corresponding
components from each corner is extracted and then the maximum value is assigned to the element
centroid. For invariants, the corresponding invariants are calculated from each tensor at the
element corners and then the maximum value is assigned at the centroid.
For example, as
shown in the Nodal Averaging of Elemental Results topic, there are four tensors at each
corner of the element A: [A1], [A2], [A3], and [A4].
The max of corner aggregation of
the xx component at the Element A centroid is:
This averaging option is only available when the Use corner data option is
checked in the Contour or Iso panels.
