This allows you to contour the the maximum 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
To calculate the maximum and minimum ubiquitous-plane stresses, the stresses tangential to the plane are determined, then resolved to give the maximum and minimum values. Note that σub is oriented normal to the ubiquitous plane and is not parallel to the direction of a line grid. Also note that σub, σ1u and σ3u 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.
The orientation of the ubiquitous shear plane is set using
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 stress components.
