In the stress configuration, you can select the stresses to be calculated and displayed.
Base
The Basic tab manages the list of stresses to be calculated.
Stresses to Calculate
In the list, you can select the stresses to be calculated. If you select a check box, the corresponding stress will be calculated.
A description of the selected stress is displayed to the right of the list.
Limit stress
For each stress, you can select a limit stress type in the table. The stress ratio is calculated from the ratio of the existing stress to the limit stress.
none
For the limit stress type 'Without', the calculation of the stress ratio is omitted.
Limit Normal Stress
The limit normal stress represents the allowable stress for the loading due to bending and axial force. The limit normal stress is determined according to the following formula.
Ultimate shear stress
The limit shear stress indicates the allowable shear stress due to shear and torsion. The limit shear stress is determined according to the following formula.
Limit Equivalent Stress
The limit equivalent stress represents the allowable equivalent stress for the simultaneous effect of several stresses. The limit equivalent stress is determined according to the following formula.
User
You can use the limit stress type 'User' to adjust the limit stress manually. You can then define the limit stress in the 'User-defined limit stress' column.
Special Options
In the Special Options tab, you can make settings for the calculation of stresses.
Modify von Mises equivalent stress
You can adjust the factors for determining the equivalent stress. The factors affect the equivalent stress (von Mises, modified) σ v, von Mises, mod.
