(σ1-σ3) VS Axial strain in abaqus

Submitted by digvijay_kumar_singh on

 I am modeling drained triaxial compression test. I modeled soil as cylindrical part in abaqus. Bottom part of cylinder is fixed and on top displacement is applied. I used Dynamic/explicit steps. After running model and getting .odb file, couldn't match stress strain diagram from experimental results. I don't know whether i am calculating stress in right way or not. Can anybody guide me in this regard? Advanced thanks for your reply.
How to plot (σ1-σ3) vs axial strain in Abaqus?
