I checked the stress in x-direction/first principal stress against the von mises stress. They are pretty much the same. does this validate the solution? and why? Is this what you meant...or did you mean to compare it to experimental data for tensile 'strength' of the material?? (if this is so...
All,
I am working on a simple model. it a beam fixed at one end and pulled horizontally with a force at the other end. the middle section of the beam thins out.
I have a converged nonlinear solution in ANSYS. I am trying to decide which results from ansys to use. I got results for first...
