Maximum Von Mises Stress, core shift result

The Maximum Von Mises Stress, core shift result shows the maximum von-Mises stress in the part at ejection.

The Maximu Von Mises Stress, core shift result is output from a Core-shift Warp or Stress analysis. Use this result when the material is ductile.

Areas with high levels of stress shows increased areas of fatigue, which can lead to the part cracking and failing.

Using this result

You can use the Maximum Von Mises Stress, core shift result to ensure the maximum stress is below the relevant material criteria. Ensuring that the Maximum Von Mises Stress, core shift values are low overall decreases the chance of part failure.

Note that the plot corresponds to one particular position through the cross-section, as specified by a normalized thickness value where -1 is the bottom of the element, 0 is the centerline through the element, and +1 is the top of the element.

Note: Due to the extrapolation from elemental centroids to the edges of elements, it is possible for small negative values to be generated for this result. These small negative values should be taken to equal zero.
