strain of PeriTriaxController

Asked by fengjingyu

Hi,

1.When I saved the strain to TXT, I found that the strain was reset in the second compression.
  From -0.319026939509 changed to-0.000567920400817
 Maybe i misunderstand the meaning of O.cell.trsf=Matrix3.Identity

2.My idea is to change the first isotropic compression into an axial compression.How do i set the triax.goal and triax.stressMask?
  Maybe triax.goal=(-25000,-25000,-800000) triax.stressMask=4 triax.maxStrainRate=(0,0,0.5)

Thanks,

Feng

Hi,

As for 2., the binary expression for 4 is 100, which means that stressMask = 4 imposes a path with

- stress control along direction 2=z (because of the 1 bit for the 2^2 component in binary representation of stressMask=4)

- strain control along the two other directions, according to imposed strain rates = -25000... (goal[0] and goal[1])

This is not the axial phase of a triaxial compression, you have to change your stressMask (and probably decrease the goal values that should correspond to strain rates..)

Thanks Jérôme Duriez, that solved my question.
