~PLSHPRS

 

~PLSHPRS, Lab, AVERAGE, KUND, KPLOT

Plots results of shell prestressed calculation.

POST1: Prestressed Concrete Checking

Lab

Result to be drawn. The available results depend on method used to design the reinforcement (ACI 359-04 only).

AVERAGE

Interpolate results in nodes.

0

Interpolate.

1

Do not interpolate.

KUND

Way of drawing the geometry:

0

Deformed shape only.

1

Deformed and undeformed shape.

2

Deformed shape and the edge of undeformed shape.

KPLOT

Way of plotting results:

1

By DESOL, allows different values in every node of each element, slower for a high number of elements.

2

By ETABLE, the value plotted is constant inside the element (mean value of nodes). Faster method than previous.

0

Default case, it depends on the forces and moments that will be obtained in shells (~CFCONFG command):

·         By ETABLE, ANSYS values (default value). The forces and moments are calculated at the element’s centroid.

·         By DESOL, CivilFEM values. The forces and moments are calculated at each node.

 

Calculation results are stored in the CivilFEM results file as an alternative. The available results for prestressed shell vertices are the following:

Notes

- To visualize results, the solution axis system should be activated using the ANSYS command “RSYS, solu”.

- Results of the ANSYS (*.rst) result file that will be overwritten to draw CivilFEM shell results.

Available results that can be overwritten (~CFCONFG command)

EPSW (default value)

Swelling strain.

NLSEPL

Equivalent stress.

NLSRAT

Stress state ratio.

NLHPRES

Hydrostatic pressure.

NLEPEQ

Accumulated equivalent plastic strain.

NLPSV

Plastic state variable.

NLPLWK

Plastic work/volume.

- Annotations that are shown in the graphic are automatically deleted to avoid being shown in following drawings. Therefore, if the REPLOT command is used, the new command will not have these annotations, being necessary a new ~PLSHPRS command to repeat the drawing or to send it to a file.
