Analysis Description¶
Extract the FrontISTR source code, move to the directory for this example, and confirm that the files required for the analysis
| File name | Type | Role |
|---|---|---|
hecmw_ctrl.dat |
Overall control data | Specifies the input/output files for mesh data and analysis control data |
hinge.cnt |
Analysis control data | Defines the analysis type, displacement boundary conditions, concentrated loads, etc., and specifies solver and visualizer control |
hinge.msh |
Mesh data | Defines the finite element mesh, material data, and section data |
are present.
Output:
A stress analysis is performed by constraining the displacement of the constrained surfaces shown in Figure 4.1.1 and applying a concentrated load to the loading surface. The overall control data and analysis control data are shown below.

Analysis Results¶
When the analysis is complete, several new files are created.
Output:
0.log hecmw_ctrl.dat hinge.res.0.0 hinge_vis_psf.0001
FSTR.dbg.0 hecmw_vis.ini hinge.res.0.1 hinge_vis_psf.0001.pvtu
FSTR.msg hinge.cnt hinge_vis_psf.0000
FSTR.sta hinge.msh hinge_vis_psf.0000.pvtu
*.res.* files are result data containing the FrontISTR analysis results. They can be displayed with REVOCAP_PrePost and similar tools.
*_vis_* files are visualization data and can be displayed with general-purpose visualization software. In this example, the output is in VTK format, so it can be displayed with ParaView or similar software.
A von Mises stress contour plot created with REVOCAP_PrePost is shown in Figure 4.1.3. In addition, part of the analysis result log file is shown below as numerical data from the analysis results.
