result:von mises stresses as mechanical workflow
Last update: 31.07.2026Version: 0.0.0
Description
Generates a workflow that computes the equivalent (Von Mises) stresses and averages it to the nodes (by default). For multibody simulations, averaging across bodies can either be activated or deactivated.
Inputs
This table lists the input pins for this operator. Input pins define the data that the operator requires to perform its operation. Some inputs are required, while others are optional and provide additional configuration. Each parameter is detailed in the sections that follow the table.
| Pin number | Name | Status | Expected type(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | time_scoping | scoping, vector<int32> |
|
| 1 | mesh_scoping | scoping, scopings_container |
|
| 3 | streams_container | streams_container |
|
| 4 | data_sources | Required | data_sources |
| 7 | mesh | abstract_meshed_region, meshes_container |
|
| 9 | requested_location | string |
|
| 14 | read_cyclic | bool |
|
| 200 | average_across_bodies | bool |
time_scoping (Pin 0)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
scoping,vector<int32>
time/freq (use doubles or field), time/freq set ids (use ints or scoping) or time/freq step ids use scoping with TimeFreq_steps location) required in output.
mesh_scoping (Pin 1)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
scoping,scopings_container
nodes or elements scoping required in output.
streams_container (Pin 3)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
streams_container
result file container allowed to be kept open to cache data.
data_sources (Pin 4)
- Required: Yes
- Expected type(s):
data_sources
result file path container.
mesh (Pin 7)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
abstract_meshed_region,meshes_container
prevents from reading the mesh in the results file.
requested_location (Pin 9)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
string
average the elemental nodal result to the requested location (default is nodal).
read_cyclic (Pin 14)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
bool
if true, cyclic expansion is done. If false, it's ignored..
average_across_bodies (Pin 200)
- Required: No
- Expected type(s):
bool
for multibody simulations, the stresses are averaged across bodies if true or not if false (default).
Outputs
This table lists the output pins for this operator. Output pins provide the results of the operator's computation and can be connected to inputs of other operators or retrieved for further processing. Each output is detailed in the sections that follow the table.
| Pin number | Name | Expected type(s) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | workflow | workflow |
workflow (Pin 0)
- Expected type(s):
workflow
Configurations
This operator supports configuration options that modify its behavior.
mutex
- Expected type(s):
bool - Default value: false
If this option is set to true, the shared memory is prevented from being simultaneously accessed by multiple threads.
Scripting
This operator can be accessed through scripting interfaces using these identifiers.
Category: result
Plugin: mechanical_results
Scripting name: None
Full name: None
Internal name: stress_eqv_as_mechanical_workflow

Examples
These examples demonstrate how to use this operator in different programming environments. Each example shows how to instantiate the operator, connect the required inputs, and retrieve the output.
