Hi everybody,
Can anybody tell me what is the difference between these two field outputs in ABAQUS?? First one is CPRESS and the other one is PRESSURE which comes under stress output??? Actually I want to know normal pressure for my work. Which one of these two will give me Normal pressure??? Thanks..
CPRESS
I think CPRESS is that you want.
"Pressure" output vairable
"Pressure" output vairable in Abaqus is the first invariant of the stress tensor. CPRESS is the normla traction developed at the contact surface.
Hope that helps
