Stresses on Solids

The results tables of the Stresses on Solids category include the stresses determined on the boundary surfaces of solids, including the respective design ratios.

The solids results are sorted in the tabs according to the following criteria:

  • Loads (design situations, load combinations)
  • Solid properties (materials)
  • Objects (surfaces, solids, FE mesh points)

Solid No.

For each stress type, the number of the solid with the highest value is displayed.

Mesh Node No.

The column shows the number of the FE mesh node for which the program has determined the maximum design ratio.

Info

If you have specified the "Calculate results in grid point" option in the Global Settings dialog box, the numbers of the grid points are specified in this column. The results are then related to the surface grid of the boundary surfaces.

Mesh Node Coordinates

The global coordinates X, Y, and Z of the FE mesh nodes are shown in three columns.

Design Situation

This column indicates the number of the design situation for which the individual stresses are available.

Loading

The numbers of the load or result combinations that are governing for the respective stress are specified.

Stress Type

This column lists the stress types that you have defined and assigned in the Solid Configurations.

Stress Existing / Limit

For each stress type, the provided stress is indicated with the corresponding limit value.

Tip

In the Solid Configuration dialog box, you can see the equations for each stress that are used to determine the stresses.

Stress Ratio η

The last column shows the stress ratios (design ratios) related to the limit value. The utilization degree is expressed by the length of the colored bar.

Info

If the stress ratio is ‘’'not designable'‘’, the dimensions of the solid could possibly be outside the thickness ranges of the material. In this case, you can adjust material properties and increase the thickness range accordingly.
