Wrong Stress Gradient

    • Isoth Madush

      I have the problem that the stress value (max. stress according to Mises) at the surface (Fig. 1, 334.47 MPa) does not match the evaluation of a path (Fig. 2, 343.33 MPa). The start of the path is at the same node as in Fig. 1 and extends vertically 10 mm into the component. 100 points along the path are considered. Furthermore, the course of the gradient within the first support points is strange. Both stresses are according to Mises, and the loadstep also matches.

      It would be nice if you could help me. Thank you very much!

      Did you try plotting the unaveraged Seqv?
