## About this Block

**What it does:** The **Von Mises Stress Point Map** block generates a Scalar Point Map of von Mises stress from the static structural simulation results.

**Common uses:**

* Can visualize structural results.

**Tips:**

* The point map consists of all the nodal points from the Static Analysis, and the stress values associated with each of those points. These points and values are accessible in the properties of the Point Map.
* The HUD can be used to change the Lower bound, Upper bound color palette and units as required.
* The point map can be exported with the **Export Point Map** block.
