Polar 3D plot of simulation results

Kristian_Lindberg_Poulsen

Hi!

Is it possible to view a simulation results in a cylindrical coordinate system, ie r,phi,z ?

I need this for simulating shear strain on the surface of a tube carrying torque, where I am interested in the y_phi,z shear strain on the surface of the tube.
I know this can be done in e.g. abacus, but if this is possible in Onshape then I would be able to consolidate licensing.

Thanks,
Kristian

Greetings Kristian,

In short, no, not at this time. I understand your request and agree that it would be useful. However, at this point we are focused on making simulation for tubes and other thin-walled structures more performant overall, after which we can turn our eye toward post-processing enhancements.

Thank you very much for your request; I will be sure to keep this in mind moving forward.
Best Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for getting back to me! As a work around, is it possible for me to plot a field that I define myself using math?

Ie something like:

ep_phi_x = -sin(atan2(z,y))*solid.eXY + cos(atan2(z,y))*solid.eXZ

If not, maybe this more general capability is something you should consider adding first. Thanks!
