von Mises stress scaling in results

[edward.doughty]

Is it possible to get the von Mises stress scale in the results to be a specific colour for a specific stress. I am trying to show the stress difference between two versions of a component, the stress in Yoke-version2 is half that of  Yoke-version1 but the colour scale is set against the maximum stress so Yoke-version2 looks like it has higher stresses, see images. In the Yoke-version2 the light blue equates to 88N/mm sq and in the Yoke-version1 it equates to 186N/mm sq, ideally I would like 88N/mm sq to be the same colour in both sets of results.

Go to the Results Contours ribbon and click Legend Properties, Setup, Range Settings. That will allow you to set the legend to any scale you want. If you’re using a version prior to 2012 I think it was called display properties instead of legend.

Thanks, just what I wanted.
