Tensors (Zone) Plot Item
Description
Show zone tensor data for stress or strain. The first few attributes of this plot item are contingent on the first attribute (Type).
Attributes
Type

Select which zone tensor to plot.
Type: select from: “Stress”, “Strain Rate”, “Strain Increment”.
Color-By
Select the scalar value to pull from the tensor for display. Additional attribute fields are supplied as needed; these are noted in the table below.
Uniformⁿ | Max Shear | XY |
Orderˡ | Determinant | XZ |
Minimum | 2nd Dev Invariant | YZ |
Intermediate | XX | Total Measure |
Maximum | YY | 2nd Invariant |
Pressure | ZZ |
Key: |
ᴬAll but “Uniform” and “Order” are supplied with a “Contour” attribute |
ⁿNo additional attribute field is supplied |
ˡA “Color-List” attribute is supplied |
Color-List/Contour
The attribute appearing in this position is either a Color-List or a Contour, depending on the “Color By” selection. Refer to the standard color-list control description and the standard contour control description for details.
