Thank you steris.
I agree that with ANSYS you can report both stress intensities (Tresca) or Equivalent stress (Von Mises).
But in a non-linear analysis, elasto-plastic type, the method of failure used is the Von Mises one. In other words yielding occur when elemental mean stress, calculated as...
I guess your are referring to ASME VIII Div.1 while I'm speaking about ASME III (Nuclear component).
In any case ASME VIII Div. 2 follows Von Mises criteria (§ 5.2.3.5).
Thank you the same for replying.

Morning to All
We are designing a pressure vessel according ASME III, Division 1.
I'm checking the possibility of performing a plastic analysis using software ANSYS 13.0 but we have a concern: may I use this software?
In effect, at NB-3212, the Code specify that the teory of failure used is...
