Deformation
|
Displays the deformed part without any
contour plot.
|
| Displacement
|
Contours the distance each point has moved
from its original location.
|
|
Displacement Vector
|
Measures 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.
|
| Compression - Tension
|
Highlights which regions in your model are
under tension and which are under compression. This plot has only two contour
colors, with red for tension and blue for compression.
|
| Principal Stress
Directions
|
Displays principal stress directions and
values.
|
| Reaction Force Vector
|
Display the vector components of the reaction
force.
|
| Reaction Force
|
Displays all reaction force components.
|
| Contact Pressure
|
Measures the pressure at contacting surfaces
(the contact force normal to the contacting surfaces per unit area).
|
| Simulation Accuracy
(%)
|
Provides a measure of simulation accuracy throughout your
model by calculating the ratio of errors in element energy density to overall
element energy density. The contour plot of simulation accuracy is displayed
with colors in reverse order: areas of higher simulation accuracy are colored
blue, while areas of lower simulation accuracy are colored red. The plot
specifically shows (as a percentage) the ratio of errors in element energy
density to the maximum overall element energy density.
When you see red (lower accuracy) in areas of interest, you
should consider rerunning the simulation with a finer mesh density to increase
the accuracy.
