Principal Stress Volume
Use the Principal Stress Volume () to plot the principal stress and principal strain in structural mechanics models. The values of the principal stresses σ1, σ2, and σ3 are the eigenvalues of the stress tensor, ordered such that σ1 > σ2 > σ3. The same applies for the principal strains ε1, ε2, and ε3. The plots also show the corresponding eigenvectors using arrows. Add a Color Expression, Deformation, Filter, Material Appearance, Selection (Plot Attribute), Translation, Transparency, or Visual Effects subnode as needed. Right-click a 3D Plot Group to add this plot from the More Volume Plots submenu.
Go to Common Results Node Settings for links to information about these sections: Data, Principal Components, Title, Positioning, Coloring and Style, and Inherit Style. In the Coloring and Style section, the Arrow base setting is not available because it is not applicable when plotting principal stress or principal strain eigenvectors.
