Choice of stress type

The stress type has to be chosen.

SettingDescription
Principal stress The radio button should be pressed, if the principal stress for space stress state should be calculated.
Equivalent von Mises stresses The radio button should be pressed, if the equivalent stresses due to hypothese of strain energy should be calculated.
Equivalent shear hypothese stresses The radio button should be pressed, if the equivalent stresses due to hypothese of shear stresses should be calculated.
Shear stresses - Y direction The radio button should be pressed, if the shear stresses in direction of global Y axis, caused by Qy, Qz and Mx (sum of the shear stresses) should be calculated.
Shear stresses - Z direction The radio button should be pressed, if the shear stresses in direction of global Z axis, caused by Qy, Qz and Mx (sum of the shear stresses) should be calculated.
