Plot > Stress > Value > σEffective

  Plot > Stress > Value > σTotal

Selects the effective or total stress component.

These components can be accessed via the Stress 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 button on the Contours toolbar activates the Stress Components toolbar.

Effective stress is the skeletal stress (i.e. without the pore pressure component).

Total stress is the skeletal stress plus the pore pressure (or thermal component).

This option is only used with Map3D Thermal-Fluid Flow the Thermal stress/Fluid flow analysis version of Map3D.

Refer to Expansion Coefficient and Conductivity for details.
