The results generated in a Static Stress study enable you to determine whether your design is structurally sound under the applied loads. Online results are presented in the Browser.
When you first run a static stress analysis, the Safety Factor results are displayed by default.
| Result | Result options | Shows... | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safety Factor (default) | The ratio of the material's yield strength to the von Mises stress. Values less than 1 indicate the material is likely to fail. | Browser | |
| Stress | von Mises, 1st Principal, 3rd Principal, Normal XX, Normal YY, Normal ZZ, Shear XY, Shear YZ, Shear ZX | The internal forces acting within the material. Use von Mises stress to evaluate yielding in ductile materials. | Browser |
| Displacement | Total, - X, - Y, - Z | How far points on the model move from their original positions under load. | Browser |
| Reactions | Total, - X, - Y, - Z | The forces and moments at constrained locations that resist the applied loads. | Browser, Inspect panel |
| Strain | Equivalent, 1st Principal, 3rd Principal, Normal XX, Normal YY, Normal ZZ, Shear XY, Shear YZ, Shear ZX | The deformation of the material relative to its original dimensions. | Browser |
| Contact pressure | Total, - X, - Y, - Z | The pressure distribution at contact interfaces between components. | Browser |
| Contact force | Total, - X, - Y, - Z | The forces transferred across contact interfaces between components. | Browser |
