Plot_StressField

Purpose

plots stress field for all elements in the Model

Synopsis

Plot_StressField (Model,U,Plot,Type,Comp,PlotOpt)

Description

PLOT_STRESSFIELD plots stress field for all elements in the Model
  PLOT_STRESSFIELD (MODEL,STATE,PLOT,TYPE,COMP,PLOTOPT)
  the function plots in the current window the distribution of component COMP
  for the stress field TYPE for all finite elements in the model;
  TYPE is a character variable with values 'Axial', 'Shear' or 'Momnt';
  COMP is a character variable with values 'xx','yy','zz','xy',yz','zx', '1', '2' or '3'
  for the axial and moment field, and values 'xy','yz','zx' for the shear field;
  COMP equal to '1', '2' or '3' plots the principal values of the corresponding field
  the model information is supplied in data structure MODEL;
  U are the global dof displacements; when present
  the function plots the stress field in the deformed configuration;
  PLOT is a data structure with the nodal stress values in fields
    sigNd: for the membrane stresses
    MomNd: for the bending moments
    ShrNd: for the shear forces
  PLOTOPT is an optional data structure with the following fields:
    Coord: coordinate system for stress field ('Carte','Polar','Spher') (default = 'Carte')
    MAGF : magnification factor for deformed shape (default=10)
    StrSF: scale factor for stress field (default=1)
    DirSF: scale factor for principal stress director line (default=1)
    LnWth: line width (default=1)
    LnClr: wireframe color (default = [0.6 0.6 0.6])
