Pin joint modeling using Continuum Plane Stress

Submitted by Mehdi Naderi on

Dear All,

I will appreciate if you answer my question.

I modeled a 2D pin joint in ABAQUS using USDFLD to apply failure criteria.

 

I used CPS4 element for (0/90)s. As you know, the elements of both two layers completely overlap.

Abaqus gives a cotour of all layers together (bothe 0 and 90 deg.). How I can only, for example, see the contour of 90 deg. ply or only 0 deg. ply? 

In the output plots, how can i see stress or any field variable output for each layer? 

 

Regards,

Mehdi
