Title: How to plot displacements-stress-strain history graphs
Post by: Giovanni S. on September 12, 2025, 08:35:06 am

Hello,

I am quite new with ADONIS software. I am starting to get familiar with it.
I am already quite positively impressed about its capabilities.

I started to "play" with tutorial 03 (Sequential Tunnel Excavation).

I have a question: how is it possible to plot graphs of evolution of displacements of nodes or stresses/strains of elements (in gauss points) during simulation?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Giovanni

Hi

Go to Plot → Chart Plot, select History, and then choose the history data you specified during the cycle. Please note that the history point must be defined before running the cycles; otherwise, it will not appear in the plot.

Thank you Roozbeh!

I can see history plots are characterized by selected variable in y-direction, calculation steps in x-direction.

Is there any way to have the full specific steps history of the simulation?

Thank you.

Giovanni

What do you mean by "full specific steps"?

I would like to know in which specific calculation step, each modelling phase is performed: for example: step x1= beginning of the excavation, step x2 = installation of the lining..

Unfortunately, nothing like that exists at the moment. I recommend referring to the FLAC manual (by Itasca), which provides one of the most comprehensive references on this topic.

Could you please provide the link to the specific section of FLAC manual?
