Hi flash3780!
Thanks for your reply. I'm happy with the procedures for conducting the stress extrapolation - I'm just stuck as to what to do when it's not possible to plot the regions due to the geometry of the joint.
Attached is a picture which hopefully should clarify things. As you can...
Hi!
I'm researching into stress concentration factors (SCFs) for tubular joints by running FE models in ANSYS. My models have been divided up in order to develop as symmetrical a mesh as possible and I've defined a region for the upper and lower extrapolation points. The extrapolation region...
