Thank you both for your responses.
Because the differences in the stresses is so great (~150 MPa vs ~90 MPa max stress intensity) do you think that means that my mesh needs refinement? It seems that that sort of difference in stress is a little disconcerting.
I am performing a response spectra calculation of a component composed of Beam44 (legacy model) and Shell63 elements. Looking at the stress intensity using PLESOL and PLNSOL results in a much larger (almost 2x) max stress intensity then when I sort an ETABLE containing stress intensity. I am...
