Set a maximum visible value in a stress analysis

[Hafidel36]

Hi there ladies and gentlemen!

I'm new at this forum after not being able figuring out a problem with my stress analysis. I'm performing a static stress analysis on a benchframe. The benchframe is imported out of a STP file and I assume that's where the problems begin.

When I start the simulation, everything goes well. When I see the results, almost the whole part is blue, and only a really small part in a corner is shown red, with extremely high stresses. 

The corner is actually not what I wanted to test, but it is messing up the other visible results because now I have to place probes all over the part to see the stresses (because the colors are calibrated with the high peak).

I have tried working with local mesh control and convergences, but I can't control the results in the small corner. I also tried rebuilding surfaces and adding fillets.

Is it possible to set a maximum stress, so that the other colors are visible in the important areas. It is not possible to exclude the corner from the simulation because it's part of a substantial part.

Or if someone has other ideas concering the solution for the singularities, I'm all ears!

With kind regards

Hi,

In Color Bar icon you can control the Maximum and Minimum of Color Bar.

I feel like such a loser haha. Never thought the answer was so simple!

Thank you very very very much! Exactly what I needed!
