Why it is not showing stress value for the nodes which shares it with multiple components ?

Yogaraj_D

When I try to measure stress value(stress plot) through Measure —> Nodal Contour for the nodes after isolating any particular component which shares nodes with some other components will not show stress value instead it will show NA.

If you try the same scenario in the old version like 2019,2021 or 2022 it will work perfectly.

I have already informed this to Altair team but still it exist in 2025 version also.

Temp Solution (for 2024,2025V users) :

1. If you face the similar issue , you try Hotspot for the particular node and click play button it will show the stress value
2. Also you can try table option under query section, there also you can check stress.

The above said issue is also applicable for checking life as of now what and all I have checked .

Hello,

Can you share the model, as I don't see the issue when I try on 2025.0

The NA next to the node shared with the component that is not contoured is to be expected.

Hello ,

Thanks for your reply. If you try this in older version like 2019,2021 … It will show you the stress value even if the node shared with the non-contoured components….

Pls refer below image

I don't think the old way is correct as it needs to take values from the hidden adjacent elements
