sum of the principal stresses in ansys / workbench

(OP)
ASME section VIII requires the sum of the principal stresses. I would like a plot of the sum of the principal stresses at every node. I need to find the node that has the maximum sum of the principal stresses. Can I do this in workbench somehow?

RE: sum of the principal stresses in ansys / workbench

Hi,

In workbench you can use "user defined results". In expression write S1+S2+S3, (S1+S2+S3 are the principal stresses).

Then you will able to plot the sum of the principal stresses and find where it is located the maximum value.

If you want to know available expressions, clik on Solution and then above on worksheet button. A list with all available commands will be shown.
