Simulate: issue with measure on component interface for measuring shear

[SB_10895015]

I am using Creo Simulate Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.3.0

I'm having an issue adding a measure. I have a pair of nested cones that represent the front of an aerodynamic body. There is a pressure applied to the outside of the outer cone. There is a bonded interface between the two cones. So, this is like a cone with a thin coating of a different material.

I want to know if the coating will delaminate. I want to put a measure on a line along the inner surface of the cone so I can measure shear. However, I can't figure out how to get shear in a specific axis (not one of the primary axes), and whenever I add a measure to a line the study will no longer run.

Hi @SB_10895015 

Would it be possible for you to share the file with us?

Potentially. I will need to get permission. I will check tomorrow and see.

Please find, attached, the file. This includes the Simulate components.

Note: the measure "interface_shear"

Along that line, I want to generate a plot of shear in-plane with the surface of the inner cone.

Since the original post, I managed to get the model to run with this measure in place, by changing the mesh rules.

I still don't know how to get the shear in-plane.
