Von Mises Stress is zero while displacement exists?

[Anonymous]

Hi i am currently running the stress analysis environment and i am applying a load to a linkage that is an assembly. Although after running the simulation, i am able to obtain safety factor visuals and displacement visuals but all the stress/strain visuals are 0.

What could be wrong?

  

Thank you.

Hello @Anonymous I see that you are visiting as a new member to the Inventor Forum.

Have you experienced this in the past? When you change the values does the visibility return?

If you can attach the data set with Pack & Go that would be helpful to investigate a cause. If you cannot share, recording a screencast might be useful in diagnosing what might be happening.

Before even going into FEA - don't you observe rather obvious issues with the assembly?

Also, you image shows a max stress value of 4163 MPa.

Did you turn on the probe label for Maximum Value to find the location?

For this to be of any meaning however, I think I would first fix the assembly.
