Strain Results Quantity
Creo Simulate supports this quantity for all Structure models. For most analyses,
Creo Simulate only calculates the
Strain quantity if you select
Stresses or
Ply Stresses as an analysis output when you define the analysis.
When you select Strain, from the Quantity option, Creo Simulate may alter the selections on the Quantity tab. Some selections do not appear unless the item is part of the design study you choose. The possible selections include:
• Amplitude or Phase
—Display either the amplitude or the phase of the strain results. This option is available only if you select the display type as Fringe or Graph. Also the component of strain you select must be XX, YY, ZZ, XY, XZ, or YZ.

 Phase and Amplitude are applicable only for dynamic frequency analysis. |
• Component—Select a component. The directional components that appear on this option change if you change the coordinate system using the
Relative To option.
• Include contributions from beams—Select the beam contributions to include in the result window definition. This area appears only if there are beams in the model.
• Include contributions from shells—Select the shell contributions to include in the result window definition. This area appears only if there are shells in the model. This area does not appear in FEM mode.
• Graph Location—Select a location from the drop-down list to display in the result window. Use the selector arrow to display your model and pick the entity you want to use in your results display. This area appears only if you select a
display type of
Graph.
