| Time history of octahedral shear stress (strain), which is a measure of maximum shear stress (strain), is calculated in time domain for each time interval defined by the time step. From this, the effective shear strain (0.65 * maximum shear strain) for the soil elements can be estimated and used to define new strain-compatible soil properties. | Time history of octahedral shear stress (strain), which is a measure of maximum shear stress (strain), is calculated in time domain for each time interval defined by the time step.

| In addition to the user-requested response, ACS SASSI [[sassi:MOTION]] may also output other components of the response if calculation of these components is necessary in order to determine the requested response. For example, in order to output maximum octahedral shear stress for 3D solid elements, all six components of stress must be computed. Therefore, ACS SASSI MOTION also outputs the maximum response of these components. However, the corresponding time histories are not to be saved on File12 unless they are specifically requested by the user. | In addition to the user-requested response, ACS SASSI [[sassi:MOTION]] may also output other components of the response if calculation of these components is necessary in order to determine the requested response.
