Stress tensor (warp) result

The Stress tensor result shows the stress in the selected direction throughout the part (after the ejected part has cooled to room temperature) in the midplane and in the 3D solutions.

Mesh type:

• Midplane
• 3D

Analysis sequences that include:

• Fill+Pack+Warp
• Cool+Fill+Pack+Warp

Using this result

Consider the principal stresses when the material is brittle. Consider the areas with a high level of stress and compare the results against the relevant material criteria. If the absolute value of the first principal stress of an element is greater than the relevant material criteria then the part will fail.

This result displays the stress distribution within the part as a tensor plot. You can also display the stresses as a contour plot using either the Stress in the principal directions.
