Hello,

I ran a Static Structural Analysis in Ansys and then I loaded the file.cdb (model) and file.rst (results) in HyperView to post-process it. Then, I would like to know what "Stress (t)" is in the available results. Which kind of stress is it? And is there a mean to visualise the results at the "surface coatings" (which are shells) created in Ansys Workbench?

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi Lucile
    Stress(t) is the stress tensor with all the stress components.
    You can use average if that is what you are after using Averaging method
