You must decide which results are required to be viewed. Based on this decision you will create the visualization images and an analysis report which will clearly summarize the results of the computation. For this case study we will: Find the location of maximum value of translational displacement. Find the location of maximum values of Principal stress distributions. Find the location of maximum value of Von Mises stress in FE model. Find the location of maximum value of local error distribution. Create output sensors for Energy and Global Error Rate percentage. Create Resultant sensor to see the reactions at restraints. Create Analysis Report with Images.

Generating Images (2/2) CATIA provides following types of result visualization images: Image
Icon
Purpose of Image Visualize the finite element mesh in the deformed configuration under the applied loading condition.
Displacement
Visualize the displacement field patterns, which represent variation of position vectors of material particles as a result of applied load.
Principal Stresses
Visualize the principal stress field patterns, which represent a tensor field quantity used to measure the state of stress and to determine the load path on a loaded part.
Von Mises Stresses
Visualize the Von Mises Stress field patterns, which represent a scalar field quantity obtained from the volume distortion energy density and used to measure the state of stress. The volume distortion energy density is often used in conjunction with the material yield stress value to check part structural integrity according to the Von Mises criterion. For a sound structural design, the maximum value of the Von Mises stress should be less than this yield value.
Precision
Visualize the computation error maps, which represent scalar field quantities defined as the distribution of energy error norm estimates for a given computation.

Activate the Von Mises stress image and deactivate other images. In Analysis Tools toolbar, click Cut Plane analysis icon. It will display a cut plane with compass. You can use compass to orient the cut plane. Use the options shown in Cut Plane Analysis dialogue box. Orient the cut plane perpendicular to length of hollow shaft using mouse and compass. You can view the Von Mises stress distribution along the cross section of hollow shaft.

Design Intent (1/2)
Student Notes:
You will create Translational Displacement Magnitude plot. You will find the magnitude of maximum average displacement. Also find the location of maximum value of translational displacement. Also observe the Z-direction component image for translational displacement. Create Translational Displacement Magnitude image and create Global Extrema for this image. Create Translational Displacement Component with Z-direction component image and create Global Extrema for this image. You will create plots for Maximum Principal stress and Minimum Principal stress distribution with discontinuous iso and find out the location of maximum values.
