Hello,

Is there a way to only see thermal stresses in ABAQUS? Or just the stresses caused by a specific load, for example *cflow? In ABAQUS I just can see S mises and the stresses subgroup of S, but I can not get the conclusion I want to understand from the results by just seeing S mises. For example, I ran two models of hydraulic fracturing with *cflow and in one of them horizontal stress difference applied to the model is bigger than the other one. In theory when higher stress diff is applied, the fracture should start with less force. In my models when I apply high stress diff, S mises gets bigger and I assume it shows that the material is getting closer to being fractured, so the fracture should start with less force, but the results show that with the same load *cflow, fracture starts earlier when less stress diff is applied (opposite of what I am expecting, I attach the screenshots below, file named 10 is for when less stress diff is applied). So, is there a way I see only stresses caused by *cflow or only thermal stresses?

Your answers are appreciated.Abaqus​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
