Specialist Durability Function Definition scenario

The Function Definition (SDF) scenario lets you visualize the specialist durability function definition results as function plots (XY plots of time histories and contribution bar charts). It supports the following input definitions:

• Time history functions

• Damage time history

• Load contribution

For more information, see Load contribution plots.

Defining the data

You can plot the following function definition result types, depending on the content of the data source:

For a time history function definition

• Stress

• Strain

For a damage time history definition

• Damage and Damage Derivative

For a load contribution definition

• Load contribution - stress

• Load contribution - damage

Filtering scenario results

When plotting the function definition results, you can apply different filters to focus on a selection of data. The available selection filters depend on the selected scenario and input definition. The selection filters include:

• Local definition

• Result location

• Element result location

• Ply ID

• Projection index or name

• Event description

• Component

If you select more than one option for a specific filter, the software plots the results over all selected filters simultaneously.

The following example displays stress results in an XY plot, when both the top and bottom are selected in the result location filter.
