Part 10 - Postprocess the results
Step 25: Setup the Displacement Results View
•Expand the Results item in the Simulation Navigator
•Double click on the Structural Item
•Expand the Structural item in the Post Processing Navigator and double click on Displacement – Nodal. The result displayed will be the displacement magnitude. Note that the deformation of the structure is exaggerated to facilitate visualisation of the behaviour
•Click on Edit Post View
•Select the Display tab
•Set the Edges drop-down list to Feature
•Click OK
Step 26: Examine the Displacement Results
Step 27: Setup the Stress Results View
•Double click on Stress – Element-Nodal. The result displayed will be the von-Mises stress
•Click on Edit Post View
•Select the Legend tab
•Set the Legend Extremes drop-down list to Specified
•Set Min to 0
•Set Max to 20
•Click OK
Step 28: Examine the Stress Results
