Hi, I have a simulation with two parts. One of the parts, I am not interested in the stresses of, however the maximum stress is at the interface between the two parts. Is there a way to have a separate stress scale for each part, or to turn the scale off for one of the parts?
Alternatively, can I hide one of the parts in the plot while having it considered for the simulation still? Also, when analyzing one part, the yield stress has an arrow to it in the legend, I seem to recall. If I am only worried about one part in an assembly can I turn that back on, or since there are multiple materials it will hid the yield stress markers?
Thanks in advance.
Hi John,
In the Simulation Result Plot, RMB, Edit Definition->Advanced options-> uncheck the "Average results across boundary for parts" if you have different materials properties.
In the MODEL, hide the unwanted solid body(ies), but do not suppress them.
In the Simulation Plot, RMB Chart Options --> Check the "Show min/max range on shown parts only". The scale is then adapted to the shown part.
(note: you might have to show another plot, then come back to show that specific plot to be able to see the changes).
To check if a part of an assembly is included in the simulation or not, look in the Simulation/Parts section. All separate bodies and surfaces should be highlighted. A part (body/surface...) which is excluded should be grayed.
I also do not have the yield stress arrow(s) on the scale, when working with different materials.
