]]> What Intrinsic Functions and Mathematical Expressions Are Supported in StressCheck? https://www.esrd.com/support/software-faqs/intrinsic-functions-mathematical-expressions/ Wed, 09 Oct 2019 21:44:27 +0000 https://esrd.com/?post_type=faq&p=11829 StressCheck supports the use of certain intrinsic functions and mathematical expressions (FORTRAN or Mathematica conventions) when defining parameters and/or formulae. For example, "sin(x)" for sine(x), where "x" is a user input in radians.]]>

]]> What Ranges Are Applicable for Offset, P1 and P2 (Min/Max) Inputs? https://www.esrd.com/support/software-faqs/offset-p1-p2-min-max-inputs/ Tue, 08 Oct 2019 04:54:45 +0000 https://esrd.com/?post_type=faq&p=11774 In general the range when entering Offset, P1 (Min/Max) and P2 (Min/Max) inputs for object generation, or object boundary extractions in the Points tab, is typically normalized to [0,1]. However for some geometries, such as spheres, cylinders and cones, the P1 (Min/Max) and/or P2 (Min/Max) inputs may be conveniently entered in degrees.]]>

]]> What Is the Interpretation of the Buckling Load Factor in an Eigenvalue Buckling Analysis? https://www.esrd.com/support/software-faqs/buckling-load-factor-eigenvalue-buckling/ Mon, 26 Aug 2019 23:44:02 +0000 https://esrd.com/?post_type=faq&p=11403 In eigenvalue buckling analysis, the goal is to compute the buckling load factor (BLF) and the corresponding buckling mode shape. The BLF is the multiplier of the applied loads to the component to produce the first buckling mode.]]>

]]> Can I Use Formulaic Expressions for Results Processing? https://www.esrd.com/support/software-faqs/formulaic-expressions-results-processing/ Sat, 13 Apr 2019 00:59:05 +0000 https://esrd.com/?post_type=faq&p=10069 Yes, it is very simple to define formulae for live results processing purposes. Formulae may involve expressions of StressCheck's standard engineering functions, such as Sx, Sy, Ex, etc. as well as formula subexpressions (i.e. formula names contained within {} characters) and parameter names.]]>

]]> What Can Affect Fringe Plot Rendering Rates? https://www.esrd.com/support/software-faqs/fringe-plot-rendering/ Sat, 23 Feb 2019 04:43:01 +0000 https://esrd.com/?post_type=faq&p=9367 There are a number of variables that may affect fringe plot rendering rates, especially if the cutting planes option is enabled. Though, models with large numbers of elements and/or solution degrees of freedom (DOF) will cause the rendering to perform slower in general.]]>

Some users wish to combine the results of two or more load cases together, such as axial/bending or mechanical/thermal load cases, and this may be accomplished via the StressCheck Calculator (Functions: Calc):]]>

However, StressCheck supports the plotting/extraction of results in Cylindrical coordinates (R, T, Z):]]>
