Contact/Friction Force

Normal and friction forces develop on faces of components with No Penetration, Shrink Fit and Virtual Wall contact types...Normal...This total force is the resultant of the Normal and Friction forces calculated at each node of the selected entities

Plotting Principal Stresses

The state of stresses at a point is completely defined by normal and shear stress components in reference to an orthogonal coordinate system XYZ...and the state of stresses is completely defined by 3 normal stress components...These 3 normal stress components are referred to as principal stresses
