How to output velocity field from shell/plate solver?

Post by pwray »

Is there an example of having Elmer output the velocity in addition to displacement to a vtu result file when using the smitc or plate solver?

I tried what seemed the obvious thing (calculate velocity = True + result output solver), but got error 'Cannot calculate velocity without previous values'.

The word velocity does not appear in the SMITC nor the plate solver.
In StressSolver it appears as
Calculate Velocities

which did work in stresssolver but not the other two solvers.
