FEA results in CFD Post

delaneyluke · October 24, 2013, 17:00

When I open an FEA .rst file with CFD Post, and I want to plot a contour, the only variables i see available to plot are "Total Mesh Displacement".
Is there a way to plot contours of Stress, Strain ets within CFD Post?

Thanks
Luke

You should be able to view a whole bunch of variables.
Principle, Shear and vonMises Strains e.g. + All DOF´s.
Checked it with a rst-file in 14.5.7 within wb and CFX standalone.
Where do you get the rst-file from? Which version of workbench/CFX do you use?
