modeling of a tensile test


Updated by Altair Forum User
Hello,
I am trying to model a simple tensile test with HyperMesh and the solver OptiStruct, however the results I obtain are inconsistent regarding the stresses. The detail of how I implemented the model and how I used results is in the attached document.
Please tell me what I have done wrong.

Hi,
I come back to this problem, I would like to model what happens beyond the yield stress that is in the plastic field. Is it possible to do with OptiStruct?
Thank you,
Thomas
Hi,
You do right, but see wrong

It's because stress components are not output in red-green-blue coordinate system
so it's ok if you select Global System in 'resolved in' when using hyperview
