Reply To: Question Regarding the Validity of Stress Concentrations

[Ashish Khemka]

Hi Jacob,

The stress seems to be on sharp edge. Can you further refine the mesh and see how the spread of the stress is? What is the failure criteria? Is this stress above allowable in this region and have a good spread?

Also, check if the loads and boundary conditions are applied properly or not (w.r.t to the prototype). These are some points to look for.
