Abnormally High Simulation Numbers
Abnormally High Simulation Numbers
(OP)
I am just switching over to the CATIA based simulation from Solidworks Simulation. So maybe this is an obvious answer but please bare with me.
I am running a simulation on a hydroforming die. I am running it at ~110MPa of pressure inside the tube and ~45000 ton holding it down. Thats all great. However when it runs i am getting results over 15,000 MPa in quite a few areas and in a couple areas it is even as high as 80,000 MPa...
There is no way the stress is this high if everything is setup correct. What might I be doing wrong? Do i have a unit set wrong somewhere or something?
