Maximum stress on a surface

Maximum stress on a surface

Maximum stress on a surface

(OP)
Hi all,
Is it possible to report maximum stress (V. Mises) for a particular surface as opposed to the maximum stress for the entire model? For my model I have an applied pressure to the top of a knee implant. I need to find the maximum stress for the entire model, which have been obtained, and for the top surface. I have tried creating a surface and also a set for the top surface but can find no option for reporting the stress as there is for the whole part.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Maximum stress on a surface

Hi,

You can create a field output request with the set you created to output Von Mises for that set.

Also, I assume you are not looking at contact pressure, purely because you have no other part in contact?

Hi,
For whole parts, the easiest way is to contour option> limits>show location.

Good luck,
Mahsa Ghaffari
