Objective:

How to find the maximum and minimum stress values

​
Applies to:

  • Static Analysis

​
Procedure:

  1. Run a Static Analysis (How to run a static analysis)
  2. Click the Min and Max icon in the HUD to enable tags. When visibility is toggled on for any simulation analysis blocks, you can quickly identify the location of minimum and maximum values by selecting the “Min/Max” icon in the HUD. The location of the minimum value will be automatically identified with a blue tag, while the maximum value will be identified with a red tag.

  1. Alternatively, Insert a Von Misses Stress Point Map block, drag and drop the Static Analysis from the previous step in the “Analysis result:” field. Now use the Min and Max blocks and drag and drop the values scalar list from the stress point map.
A gif showing how you can find the minimum and maximum values of a static analysis. The analysis results are converted into a Von Mises Stress Point Map. Then the list of values of that point map are placed into Min and Max blocks. These block automatically determine the min and max values based on the data set. And that’s it! You’ve successfully found out the maximum and minimum stress values. Are you still having issues? Contact the support team, and we’ll be happy to help!
