Result Math Use Case: Stress Manipulation
Goal: Add new data types that display calculated values:
vonMises stress normalized by material yield value
Bending Stress (Z1 – Z2) / 2
Membrane Stress (Z1 + Z2) / 2
Factor of Safety (1 / normalized_vm)
Yield values are defined in an external text file:
Read in as an additional resource
Stored as a table of results and available for plotting and manipulation
Editable: changes to material property information affect changes to dependent
computed data types.
Solution: Combine results with external resources and create new data
types using the Results Math support.

Result Math Use Case: Composite Failure Theory
Goal: Allow the selection of composite failure theory to be made separate
from the solver input deck.
Solver output requires allowables to be specified on the MATerial card,
and failure theory selection on the PROPerty card.
To view a different failure theory requires re-definition of allowables and/or selecting
a new theory on each ply.
Solution: Define material-bound allowables in an external text file and
add new data types for one or more failure theories.
Allowables can be adjusted without requiring a re-run.
Different failure theories can be post-processed simultaneously.
Additional instrumentation of the model readers allows for visualization
of important model data

Ply angle, Ply thickness, Total thickness.
