Contours the maximum and minimum strains tangential to the currently selected grid plane or perpendicular to a line grid. These components can be accessed via the Strain Components toolbar as follows:
This toolbar can be changed to a vertical orientation by dragging is against either the right or left hand edge of the main window. It can be changed back to a horizontal orientation by dragging is against either the top or bottom edge of the main window.
Selecting the You can add this button to the Contours toolbar using the configuration
To calculate the maximum and minimum in-plane strains, the strains tangential to the grid plane are determined, then resolved to give the maximum and minimum values. Note that εni is oriented normal to the grid plane and parallel to the direction of a line grid. Also note that εni, ε1i and ε3i are perpendicular to one another.
•dip direction is measured positive clockwise from the y-axis. •dip of the plane is measured positive down from the horizontal (i.e. the dip direction). •plunge of the normal is measured positive down (i.e. negative up) from the horizontal.
Note that there are three components of strain that can be contoured:
There are also two different ways of presenting the strain:
The contour range is set using
This component can be added to the contour toolbar if desired
The user may find it handy to add the
button to the contouring toolbar for quick access to all strain components.
