I am trying to find normal stresses (in the global x-y-z direction) of individual layups (plies) in ABAQUS. While post processing I only find S11 S22 S12. Do I always have to use a transformation matrix to find my Sxx Syy and Sxy? Is there a GUI/ Command way to extract the stresses in each ply in xyz directions?
Define any coodinate system
Define any coodinate system that you are interested in viewing the results for. Then, while in Visualization Mode, Go to Results > Options > Transformation > User-Specified. Click on the CSYS and there you go.
