CalculiX CGX as Postprocessor

Main CGX cards (Post-processing)
(type commands when CalculiX GraphiX window is active
______________________________________________

Use min/max cards to investigate stress distribution
For example max 250000000 will show areas with red color
where stress is > 250000000

Picture above shows Von-Mises stress in the beam, where max. stress value is 83700 psi (US inits) is very localized
Let's type max 50000
Now you can see red areas with stress>50,000 psi (from stress concentration and at the tip of beam where concentrated load is applied)
