In order to get the right interpretation and to compare the max stress to a criterion, different methods can be used as seen on different forum:
- 1st method: the peak is not taken...

The model represents a cylinder made of steel with a top and a bottom flange. The bottom flange is fixed and I apply loads on the top flange. By the way, the cylinder has a hole at mid-height.
Comparing the...
