    Hi,

    von Mises criteria ia a failure criteria which predict failure, using this information user can say his design will fail.The von Mises yield criterion states that if the von Mises stress of a material under load is equal or greater than the yield limit of the same material then the material will yield.

    I suggest you to go through failure theories in open web resources to understand more on this concept.

    Hi,

    I recommend you to go through Practical Aspects of Finite Element Simulation (A Study Guide) ebook where we covered a section on How To View And Interpret Results. Please go through it.
