Instead, I have only gotten 0.79MPa. Could it be due to me looking at the wrong place for it? Attached below are the relevant outputs and steps I have taken.&nbsp; May I enquire as to where went wrong with my simulation and provide some suggestions for the causes? May I also trouble you to provide some elaborations for the solution as I am still new to Ansys?
