POST PROCESSING EXAMPLES IMAGES

These examples give an idea of the post-processing phase, that is the way results are managed
within CSE. Some images give an idea of the model, others of the fem models created by CSE after
renode analysis. Net cross-sections results, bearing surface bolt layouts results, colour maps with
exploitation factors, displaced, information about the forces exchanged by each component with the
others in a given load combination. Finally some views of the main dialogues used in CSE.

Program interface is in Italian in these screen shots, however English version of the program is
available.

Multiple, sincronized views. On the left a specific member.
On the right the detail of the forces exchanged, in a given
load combination, and in a given renode instance, by that
member with the bolt layout which joins it (note the two
connection extremes).

This is the Von Mises stress display in Sargon, after the FEM
analysis of the component. The Sargon FEM model has been
automatically created by CSE, for all combinations check of
the RENODE. The set of the elementary forces due to single
welds and bolts applied to the FEM model is self-balanced.

 Normal stresses of the bearing surface after non linear
computation (bearing with no tension parabola-rectangle
constitutive law). Note the bolts in compression which do
not react (by user's choice) and those pulled, instead,
reacting.

Finite element model of the base plate in Sargon. This model
has been created automatically by CSE. You can see the
forces modeling the bearing-surface reaction (the forces
vectors are not scaled in size depending on module: actually
the modules increase with the distance from neutral axis, as
is clear in the previous figure). The model keeps into
account the welds, the pulled bolts, and the bearing surface,
and is self-balanced.
