Results and filtering criteria for post-processing scenarios in Simcenter Samcef

Results and related Samcef codes

In the Simcenter Samcef post-processing scenarios, you can display the following results:

Results	Samcef code and Output Requests entry
Interlaminar Stress by Cohesive Layer	Code 3413.Output requests entry: Composite Stress → Interlaminar Stress Tensor.
Ply Stress	Code 3411.Output requests entry: Composite Stress → Stress Tensor.
Ply Strain	Code 3421.Output requests entry: Strain → Total Strain.
Ply Damage Value, Number of Damaged Elements by Ply	Code 3456 per ply.Output requests entry: Damage → Tensor Damage.
Cohesive Damage Value, Number of Damaged Elements by Cohesive Layer	Code 3356 per cohesive layer.Output requests entry: Damage → Scalar Damage.

Note:

You must enable these results in the Output Requests with Location set to All, Type set to All, and Entity set to Structure.

Some of these results may be enabled by default.

Results	Samcef code
Number of Damaged Elements	Code 9823.This code is automatically computed.
Number of Plasticized Elements	Code 9822.This code is automatically computed.

Filtering results by components and criteria

Results	Available components and criteria filters
Interlaminar Stress by Cohesive Layer	Component: YZ, ZX, ZZ.Criteria: Max, Min.
Ply Stress	Component: 11, 12, 22, 23, 31, 33.Criteria: Max, Min.
Ply Strain	Component: 11, 12, 22, 23, 31, 33.Criteria: Max, Min.
Ply Damage Value	Component: V-1, V-2, V-3, V-4, V-5, V-6.Criteria: Max.Note: The meaning of the Component V-x depends on the material associated to the ply. For more details, see Damage tensor output requests (Simcenter Samcef).
Cohesive Damage Value	N/A
Number of Damaged Elements by Ply	Criteria: Max Damage Component > 0.0, Max Damage Component > 0.5, Max Damage Component > 0.9.
Number of Damaged Elements by Cohesive Layer	Criteria: Max Damage Component > 0.0, Max Damage Component > 0.5, Max Damage Component > 0.9.
Number of Damaged Elements	N/A
Number of Plasticized Elements	N/A

Group or ply-based results filter

Depending of the type of results, you can filter them by:

• PlyThe following results are ply-based: Ply Stress, Ply Strain, Ply Damage Value, Number of Damaged Elements by Ply.

• Group. Group means every .SEL group of elements that exists in the Simcenter Samcef model and for which the selected result is found.The following results are .SEL group-based: Interlaminar Stress by Cohesive Layer, Cohesive Damage Value, Number of Damaged Elements by Cohesive Layer.

Note:

Other results are global to the structure.
