Postprocessing examples

Sample postprocessing programs that perform commonly exercised tasks are presented in this section.

• Joining data from multiple results files and converting file format: FJOIN
• Calculation of principal stresses and strains and their directions: FPRIN
• Creation of a perturbed mesh from original coordinate data and eigenvectors: FPERT
• Output radiation view factors and facet areas: FRAD
• Creation of a data file to facilitate the postprocessing of elbow element results: FELBOW
• Visualizing beam outputs with actual beam cross-section representation for contact
• Translating Abaqus data to modal neutral file format for analysis in MSC.ADAMS
