COMPUTE EFFECTIVE STRAINS FROM STRAIN-TENSOR¶
Converts a full 6-component strain tensor (εX, εY, εZ, εXY, εYZ, εZX) into a single scalar curve representing either the von Mises effective strain or the mean (hydrostatic) strain. Use this worker whenever post-processing simulation or test strain-tensor histories requires a single representative scalar metric.
When to use¶
Classification: process.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curve 1 | straincomponents | vector | — | Ordered set of 6 strain-component curves (εX, εY, εZ, εXY, εYZ, εZX) as time- or load-step histories; multiple tensor sets can be supplied simultaneously for batch processing. | |
| Return Type | return_type | list | effective | Scalar reduction mode: ‘effective’ computes the von Mises effective strain (default), ‘mean’ computes the hydrostatic (mean) strain; leave as default unless a volumetric/mean metric is specifically required. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| curves_strain_to_effective_output_1 | curves_strain_to_effective_output_1 | vector | Single scalar curve (or batch of scalar curves) containing the computed effective or mean strain history corresponding to each input strain-tensor set. |
