block.field.quantity
Syntax
- s = block.field.quantity()
- block.field.quantity() = s
Get/set the scalar quantity to retrieve when the value being obtained is a tensor. This value is ignored if the type is not a tensor. The available quantity names are listed in the following table.
Quantity Name
Description
intermediate principal stress
the maximum (most positive) value of principal stress (note that compressive stresses are negative in 3DEC)
the mean pressure value defined as the trace of the tensor divided by 3. For stresses this is most often referred to as the pressure.
the minimum (most negative) principal stress (note that compressive stresses are negative in 3DEC)
The norm of the strain rate; see the equations below
octahedral stress; see the equations below
maximum shear stress
distance of tensor value to the origin in principal space
volumetric change or trace
Von Mises measure; see the equations below
\(xx\)-component of the tensor
\(xy\)-component of the tensor
\(xz\)-component of the tensor
\(yy\)-component of the tensor
\(yz\)-component of the tensor
\(zz\)-component of the tensor
- Returns:
s - the name of the scalar quantity to retrieve from the tensor
- Accepts:
s - the name of the scalar quantity to retrieve from the tensor. Keyword matching rules are used. If no match is found, an error occurs.
