Support for Detailed Stresses
There is support for detailed stresses for a given contact interface.
User Interface Location: In Structure mode, click Refine Model > Connections > Interface. In the Interface Definition dialog box, in the Type box, select Contact and in the Friction box, select Finite.
Release: Creo 5.0.0.0
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
Detailed Stresses is supported only for finite friction interfaces. When Detailed Stresses is set, it overrides the global model and analysis-level detailed stresses setting for this given interface. This enhancement gives you the option of using a detailed stresses setting on selected important interfaces. This setting helps to improve the quality of the stress result on a given interface.
Additional Information
Tips:
When Detailed Stresses is set, the engine uses the interface-level detailed stresses setting instead of the global model-level detailed stresses setting. Detailed stresses require more computation time so be selective when using it.
Limitations:
Using this setting on many interfaces will result in longer run time.
Does this replace existing functionality?
