In the attached file, I wanna know maximum and minimum of "s1" values on "Anode", "Electrolyte", and "Cathode" layers. How can I get those values? Using "contour" command, I can get only 2D plot for the cross-sectional area. Is there any other way to plot "s1" values for the whole structure?

You can limit plot domains to specific regions, layers or surfaces using the "ON" qualifier. See "ON" and subsequent entries in the Help Index. You could also use GLOBALMAX(modified_S1) to search for the maximum value in a layer, by defining "modified_S1" as S1 in specific layers and 0 or other low value in other layers. But you should be careful looking at maximal stresses in the presence of sharp corners. Stress at a mathematically square corner will be infinite. The mesh will not be able to generate an infinity, but it will try. So the maximum value will be more a measure of mesh size than anything else. |
