Dear all,
I am running ABAQUS/CAE with the NLgeom flag set to ON.
I want to view on the deformed shape (that ABAQUS chooses automatically) the Cauchy stresses in local coordinates (i.e., in element-bound coords after deformation).
Obviously, I cannot set a user-defined transformation, as that would have to vary from point to point.
Is there a flag I can set that gets things done in one step?
Do I have to write out deformed frames of reference (how???) and transform the reported components back myself?
Please, Help!!!
Paul.
