Are there any examples of plotting internal energy in POST26 and strains
in POST1 using ANSYS LS-DYNA 8.1? I cannot get these to plot for me.


Please see the model below (which is also attached to this solution
database along with the resulting output plots). The model includes
both shell and solid elements. The mass was increased by an order
of magnitude to speed up the run. A rigid solid cylinder is pulled
down onto a deformable (flexible) cantilevered hollow cylinder, which
in turn pushes down onto a deformable (flexible) solid cylinder (fixed
at the ends). A rigid plate is below all of that. The total equivalent
strains are plotted for everything and then just for the deformable
solid cylinder, since the strain is much lower in that and it is hard to
see when everything is plotted. Finally, the internal energies for the
deformable solid cylinder (Part 2) and the deformable hollow cylinder
(Part 3) are plotted in POST26. ANSYS 8.1 Service Pack 1 was used
for this analysis.
