When performing a stress analysis in the simulation environment is there any way of viewing the calculations to back up the solutions?
Hi Lester86_1,
We don't provide any internal calculations. However, there are two things you can check to verify a solution:
1) Use the convergence settings (provide maximum number of h-refinements and stop criteria %) and view the convergence plot (verify the solution has converged within the stop criteria)
2) View the reaction forces and moments by RMB on a constraint in the browser => Reaction Forces.
Hope this helps...
Thanks, -Hugh
If it helps bolster your confidence we run all of our analysis through Algor, SolidWorks and Pro/E as well and get results equivalent to the Inventor results. It is all in properly setting up the analysis.
