ANSYS reporting different stresses
ANSYS reporting different stresses
(OP)
hi
i am doing a static stress analysis of a component. when i plot vonmises stress contour it shows SMX as 26000 and when i list nodes for the node having max stress (vonmises) it shows max stress value as 17000.
Where is the value 26000 coming from if no node have this value.
Also when contour plot is displayed the window show vonmises stress with AVG written with it. what is this average ?

Also i ran a simulation of this bolted flange the calculated stresses in nodal and element solution in stress intensity is near (40000 and 30000), is this difference ok ? or how i improve my model? There was no meshing errors in my model and i used total hex mesh (using sweep mesh).
Kindly answer

Pretension of a bolt came be analysed by following the procedure of the prets179 element.
