Circumferential (Hoop Stress)

Hi Bill:
After you run the simulation, you can pre-select the axis of revolution. Then plot stress component, SY.

The stress component mapping with an axis selected is: SX = radial stress, SY=hoop stress, and SZ = axial stress.

You will likely need to insert an axis directly on top of the temporary axis. To do this, choose "View...Temporary Axes". Then "Insert...Reference Geometry...Axis".

Hope that helps.
