How do I write the exponentiation operation in a resultant expression?
Answer:
A resultant can be defined in ADINA-PLOT using the interface menu
Definitions > Variable > Resultant...
or using the command RESULTANT.
Use two asterisk (**) for the exponentiation operator. For example,
<STRESS-YY>**2
As an example on how the exponentiation operator is used in an expression, the velocity magnitude resultant VELOCITY_MAGNITUDE is defined as
SQRT(<X-VELOCITY>**2 + <Y-VELOCITY>**2 + <Z-VELOCITY>**2)
