Stresses on solids

The result tables of the Stresses on Solids category contain the stresses determined on the boundary surfaces of the solids with the respective design ratios.

The solid stresses 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, this column shows the number of the solid where the stress is present.

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 if you have set the option 'Calculate stresses on grid point', the numbers of the grid points are shown in this column. The results are then available in 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

This column displays the numbers of the load or result combinations that are governing for the respective stress.

Stress type

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

Existing/limit stress

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

Tip

Dialog box Solid Configuration dialog box, you can see the equations for each stress according to which the stresses are determined.

Stress ratio η

The final 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 non-designable, the dimensions of the solid could possibly lie outside the thickness ranges of the material. In this case, you can use the Adjusting Material Properties dialog box and increasing the thickness range accordingly.
