Multiply Table values to get fretting damage parameter and reading back into Mecway to plot

PaulFlynn

I'm using ccx to calculate slip on contact elements for a fretting analysis. I want to select S1, Slip1 and Shear1 in a Table and multiply them together to get a fretting damage parameter. I can do this in Excel, but how do I read the results back into Mecway to contour plot? Or can I do this in the Table function? Thanks, Paul

You can use Solution -> New formula to do the multiplication and that creates a new solution variable containing the result.

If you do need to read solution variables back in, probably the easiest way is using the Gmsh .msh format which is fairly simple and Mecway can read the solution data from it. But you may have to export the mesh to combine with the new data.
