How to see the value of equivalent stiffness

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Is there any way to plot the equations of comsol e.g How comsol is calculating equivalent stiffness? solid.Eequ and what is its value?

Hi,

If you enable Equation View, you will see the definition of the equivalent stiffness under each material model, as shown in the attached screenshot (from a linear elastic orthotropic material where the arithmetic mean of the three modulii is used).

You can always plot any variable, by just entering its name (e.g. solid.Eequ) in the plot expression.

Regards,
Henrik
