how do engineers (non analysts) interpret stress contours

Jun 21, 2004 0 Replies

hi all,



i make a von mises stress plot and show it to a engineer. though i could ask him how he wants the plot to be like ( red spots , max values , associated deformations etc ) , i am not convinced if he knows what exactly he is looking for.



based on years of experience making stress plots, i still would like to know what is the best way to make a stress plot. how to set the ranges how to report the maximum stress value ( coz it could be some spurious high value not representative of the reality)



request you knowledgeable souls to enlighten me.
