PolyUMod State Variables
It is easy to plot PolyUMod state variables. This tutorial shows how.
In this tutorial you will learn to:
- Plot PolyUMod state variables in ANSYS Workbench.
MCalibration
First create the material model in MCalibration, then export the material model to ANSYS APDL format. The following movie shows two ways to export a MCalibration material model to ANSYS Workbench.
Ansys Workbench
After the simulation has finished running you can plot any of the standard results. To plot one of the state variables you need to add a User Defined Result. The following screenshot shows how to add SVAR2, which is the effective viscoplastic strain magnitude for many of the PolyUMod material models. Note that the definition of all PolyUMod state variables are listed in the PolyUMod User’s Manual (typically located here: “C:\Program Files\PolymerFEM\PolyUMod\Documentation\PolyUMod_Manual.pdf”).
The results from plotting the state variable is shown in the following figure.
