Hi All
I've got a question about maximum plotting maximum stress values. For example..
I've got analysis that lasts about 10 . A. I want to make a plot of mximum stress values time-dependent. You must known that each inrement of analysis contains different stress values at different areas of a model.

Thanks for help

Hi
Probably not a elegant solution. But can work, especially if the model is small.

Get the stress value of all the nodes for the complete time [10s] as XY Data.

Operate on these XY Data and use the Max Envelope Function. The resulting curve is the plot of Maximum Stress over time.

Hi!

Yes, this is a soulution...but for a small models.

I think that python script may help me with my problem. Surrnetly I try to postprocess results using Ensight This software gives possibility to plot maximum stress values (time dependent) curve.

Regards and thanks for help
