Output Results Stresses

[Boghi1990]

Hi,

I have run a structural analysis to investigate the Circumferential, Radial & Axial Stresses in a pipe wall. In the stresses output results, there are listed several types of stresses(Von Mises Stresss, Principal Stresses and Tensor Stresses). Which of these do I need to look for in order to get the circumferential, radial and axial stresses?

Any suggestion or advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

One Point

You need to define a cylindrical coordinate system prior to running the analysis. Once you have done this and re-run the analysis, you'll then need to select one of the axis stress values (XX, YY, etx.) under "Component", and then change the coordinate system from the default (WCS) to the cylindrical one you created. Once you've done this, go back to "Component" and select the stress result you're interested in.
