As Array

Convert Tensor to Array. This is useful to export results back to the code which is not using the tensor toolbox.

This function is very useful because Fortran does not allow access to Tensor components of a function result s = (dev(S*C)*inv(C))%ab. Instead this function can be used.

If you use Abaqus please use asabqarray to export Tensor components.

asarray is called with one (rank 2) or two (rank 4) integers to slice dimensions. This is useful if an axisymmetric analysis is evaluated (3 direct and 1 shear components = 4x4 tangent matrix instead of full 6x6 storage).

Property	Value
Result	array
Data Types	Tensor2, Tensor2s, Tensor4, Tensor4s

Example

type(Tensor2)  :: S1
type(Tensor4)  :: C4
! type(Tensor2s)  :: S1
! type(Tensor4s)  :: C4

integer :: ndim

real(kind=8), dimension(ndim)      :: s
real(kind=8), dimension(ndim,ndim) :: d

s(1:ndim)         = asarray( voigt(S1), ndim )
d(1:ndim, 1:ndim) = asarray( voigt(C4), ndim, ndim )
