The Young’s Modulus for the PA66 I used is 1480 MPa. 

 

The diagrams are all for the Nitinol simulation – once not refined (as much) and once refined. Like, the only thing changing between the pairs of diagrams is the mesh size. I don’t know if maybe that didn’t come across clearly. 

I am not trying to compare the PA66 results with the Nitinol results - I of course did expect a difference in stress values for that. 

I hope my problem now is described a little better.
