Distortion Checker Results

The results of a distortion checker simulation initially display the von Mises stresses on the deformed shape of your model after the loads have been applied to it. You can then select other options from the Plot list.

Click the Compass Play button to animate the deformation of the part.

The results available depend on your selections in the model for materials, connections, restraints, and loads. You can create plots for the results described below.

Result Plot Description
Displacement Contours the distance each point has moved from its original location.
Von Mises Stress Measures the resistive stress forces in your part created by the deformation.
EACTIVE Indicates which elements have been activated.
EEIG Eigenstrain values.
