Results

In compas_fea2, the results of a finite element analysis are organized in a structured manner to facilitate easy access and post-processing. The results are typically stored in a Results object, which contains various types of data depending on the analysis performed.

Key components of the Results object include: - Nodal Results: Displacements, velocities, accelerations, and reaction forces at the nodes. - Element Results: Stresses, strains, and internal forces within the elements. - Global Results: Overall quantities such as total reaction forces and energy values.

To access the results, you can use the following methods provided by the Results object: - get_nodal_displacements(): Returns the displacements at the nodes. - get_nodal_reactions(): Returns the reaction forces at the nodes. - get_element_stresses(): Returns the stresses within the elements. - get_element_strains(): Returns the strains within the elements.

Example usage: ```python # Assuming ‘results’ is an instance of the Results class nodal_displacements = results.get_nodal_displacements() nodal_reactions = results.get_nodal_reactions() element_stresses = results.get_element_stresses() element_strains = results.get_element_strains()

# Process or visualize the results as needed ```

The Results object provides a convenient interface for accessing and manipulating the analysis results, enabling users to perform further analysis, visualization, or reporting.
