Superpose

In: Tools->Arrays


This command was implemented in order to enable weighted superposition of several arrays/data_vector of the same size. Any type of result or load file can be input. In dependency of the first chosen data_vector type, the second is selected from the same group as indicated in groups below:

* Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration, Stress Invariants, Principal Stress, Principal Strain

* Stress, Strain, Elastic Strain, Plastic Strain, Reaction Force

* Temperature, Energy

* Load sequence in 1D (Strain, Stress, Force)

* Load sequence on a plane (Stress, Strain)

* Decomposed load history in 1D (Strain, Stress, Force)

* Load sequence of full tensors (Strain, Stress)

* Decomposed load history of full tensors (Strain, Stress)

After the selection of a first data_vector an appropriate weight to it is chosen, then a second data_vector is selected and its weight set. At last, the meaning of the final superposed data_vector has to be selected from the options related to the chosen group of data_vectors (e.g. the superposition of elastic and plastic strain creates variable with a new meaning total strain, marked as Strain here).
