Stresses in thermo-mechanical element (fld3d1tm)
« on: November 16, 2018, 12:27:14 AM »
I am using the 3D thermo-mechanical FEAP element for finite deformations (fld3d1tm) with user material routines.

It seems to be that the stresses of the element are not stored correctly. When I probe the stresses (stress,,<elem-id>), when I project the stresses to the nodes (stress,nodes) or when I visualise them in paraview, I obtain zero stresses, but non-zero strains.

the stress response of the material and the convergence of the simulation is fine.

Sorry, my misstake. user material needs to response with stresses for isw={4,8,16}, too.  ;D
