Finite Element Outputs

This lecture covers the visualization defaults and post-processing of finite element outputs in Abaqus/CAE 6.14-1. It explains the field outputs, history outputs, and the types of variables available, such as stress, strain, displacement, and temperature. The lecture also delves into the process of stress extrapolation, averaging at nodes, and visualizing 3D fields. It provides insights on how to specify non-default field and history outputs, visualize stress fields, and identify stress singularities. The instructor demonstrates the creation of history outputs, the visualization of principal stress tensors, and the interpretation of results through contour plots.
