SubscriberHello,
I couldn't find any option to view signed Von Mises stress result in Mechanical. Is it possible to view this result?
Best,

Ansys EmployeeHi Ashish,Â
Signed von Mises stress can be calculated using user-defined results.
Hydrostatic stress is simply the average of the three normal stresses [(sx+sy+sz)/3 ], so dividing the hydrostatic stress by the absolute value of itself will give -1 for compression and +1 for tension [(sx+sy+sz)/abs(sx+sy+sz)].Â
This stress sign can be directly multiplied by the unsigned von Mises stress to produce the signed von Mises stress.Â
Signed Von Mises = seqv*(sx+sy+sz)/abs(sx+sy+sz)
Â
But the method breaks down when the hydrostatic stress is zero. So, we add a small number to the equation as shown below.
Please use the below expression in a user defined result to get the Signed Von Mises stress.Â
seqv*(sx+sy+sz+1e-6)/abs(sx+sy+sz+1e-6)
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Rohith

SubscriberHello,
Â
What could be the python script to calculate this signed Von Mises stress ?
I try but I failed to calculate the abs value of the formula.
Thanks
E.L.
