Mohr's circle with FREECAD

[mrr]

Hi all!

I'm new to the forum. Simple question: is it possible to get the Mohr's circle in a specific point of a solid? Let's say a beam where an axial force is acting. I have been searching in the forum but I did not find anything. Any hint is appreciated. Looking forward to your comments.

Kind regards,

MRR

With the FEM workbench one can make a stress analysis and check principal stresses from which you can easily construct the Mohr's circle.

If I step over how to make FE analysis, you can get stress results at point by:
- select result object and create pipeline (1)
- create Data at point (2) - under which you select the point and from the field rolet you chose the desired output

Dear FandaL,

Sorry for my late reply. Thank you very much for your help. I will take this into practice with different examples.

Best regards.

By the way, in the equation editor of the result object you can plot the radius of Mohr circle by entering (P1-P3)/2 and the center is found by typing (P1+P3)/2.

In a 3D analysis every stress point has 3 Mohr Circles with radius R and center C as follows:

[R, C]= [(P1-P2)/2, (P1+P2)/2]
[R, C]= [(P2-P3)/2, (P2+P3)/2]
[R, C]= [(P1-P3)/2, (P1+P3)/2]

Where the last one is the largest and encircles the other two.

Ok! Thanks!
