Problem Visualizing VonMises in Salome !

Hello All,

I am trying to visualize VonMises Stresses in a 3D Model which uses Quadratic Tetrahedral elements. When I click "Scalar Map" of the "Solution_EQUI_ELNO_SIGM" on the results file in Salome 3.2.6 I get "That object can't be built"

My Code-Aster comm file snippet is:

#Boundary conditions
BCnd=AFFE_CHAR_MECA(MODELE=FEMLin,
DDL_IMPO=_F(GROUP_NO='Fixed',
DX=0.0,
DY=0.0,
DZ=0.0,),
FORCE_NODALE=_F(GROUP_NO='Force',
FY=10.0,),);

#Finite Element Solution
Solution=MECA_STATIQUE(MODELE=FEMLin,
CHAM_MATER=Mat,
EXCIT=_F(CHARGE=BCnd,),);

#Compute VonMises Stress / Strain
Solution=CALC_ELEM(reuse =Solution,
RESULTAT=Solution,
OPTION=('SIGM_ELNO_DEPL','EPSI_ELNO_DEPL','EQUI_ELNO_SIGM','EQUI_ELNO_EPSI',),);

#Write Results to MED file
IMPR_RESU(MODELE=FEMLin,
FORMAT='MED',
UNITE=80,
RESU=(_F(MAILLAGE=MeshLin,
RESULTAT=Solution,
NOM_CHAM='DEPL',
NOM_CMP=('DX','DY','DZ',),),
_F(RESULTAT=Solution,
NOM_CHAM='EQUI_ELNO_SIGM',
NOM_CMP='VMIS',),),);

Can somebody urgently help please!

Thanks

Hello,

I have installed CAELinux 2008 afresh on a PC and I am trying out the well written piston tutorial and it works well. Next I want to modify the piston1.comm file to get Von-Mises stresses. I have tried various ways and failed. I am attaching the piston.comm file I used hoping someone can point out how to do so, please. Thank you.

Hello All,

I solved this problem. I was not selecting the correct field in the Salome POST Scalar Map window. Selecting VMIS instead od &quot;Modulus&quot; was the problem. A 100% user error!
