Visualization of strengths

All of the strengths are represented related to the global axes systems of the model (except Von Misses that do not depend on the axes). The visualization will be generally with a Contour Fill of every component of the strength although there are other ways to visualize them. To see the numerical value of the strength that is being visualized, choose:

            Label -> All in -> Results

            Label -> Select -> Results (and select several nodes of the mesh)

To hide the numerical results select:

            Label -> Off

Both commands can be found in the menu that appears when pressing the secondary mouse button over the screen.

The strengths are the following:

Default units

Remarks

Normal strengths

Sx,Sy,Sz

N/m2

Also called sx sy sz are the stresses for every global axe

Tangential strengths

Txy, Txz, Tyz

N/m2

Also called txytxz tyz

Main stresses

Si, Sii, Siii

N/m2

Main stresses expressed in the main axes

The sign criteria for these strengths is:
