# Stress Response

Create a Design Response that measures the maximum centroidal von Mises stress in some region for a set of boundary conditions. The response is derived from the solution of a linear static structural finite element analysis. The best performance is achieved if all loaded regions are assigned to be passive regions.

### Inputs

| Name            | Type                                                                                | Description                                                                                                                      |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Load case       | [Boundary Condition List](../../../../block-documentation/types/boundary-condition) | Load case for the design response.                                                                                               |
| Exclude passive | [Bool](../../../../block-documentation/types/bool)                                  | Option to exclude passive regions.                                                                                               |
| Region          | [Region](../../../../block-documentation/types/region)                              | Region that the design response will be computed in. If not provided, then the response will be calculated for the entire model. |
