zone.stress.prin

Syntax

Vector Access

v = zone.stress.prin(p<,i>)

Get the zone principal stress, calculated from the volume-weighted average of the tetra stresses. Note that compressive stresses are negative in FLAC3D.

Returns:

v - zone principal stress vector or component

Arguments:

p - zone pointer

i - optional vector component

Component Access

f = zone.stress.prin.x(p)

Get the x-component of the zone principal stress, calculated from the volume-weighted average of the tetra stresses. Note that compressive stresses are negative in FLAC3D.

Returns:f - x-component of the zone principal stress vector
Arguments:p - zone pointer
f = zone.stress.prin.y(p)

Get the y-component of the zone principal stress, calculated from the volume-weighted average of the tetra stresses. Note that compressive stresses are negative in FLAC3D.

Returns:f - y-component of the zone principal stress vector
Arguments:p - zone pointer
f = zone.stress.prin.z(p)

Get the z-component of the zone principal stress, calculated from the volume-weighted average of the tetra stresses. Note that compressive stresses are negative in FLAC3D.

Returns:f - z-component of the zone principal stress vector
Arguments:p - zone pointer
