    Should strain energy be used as convergence criteria in ANSYS?

    In CREO Simulate (previously known as ProMechanica) I used the maximum strain energy and maximum Von Mises stress as my convergence criteria. I first look for a plateau in the strain energy value as the order of the elements increases. Next I look for a plateau in the value of the stress as the...
