From: ken on 3 Feb 2006 21:05 It depends on what type of results you are looking at. Factor of Safety, then red is bad. Von Mises, then it doesn't mean anything other than that is the highest concentration of stress as opposed to the lowest since the results automatically scale to what numbers it sees, but that is all that it means.

I will typically use a non chromatic color scale. Olive, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Magenta, etc. I do this simply to allow a clear distinction in boundaries from one stress level to the next. Also, if comparing different designs I will maintain the same range of values from one plot to the next so that a person reading the report will not be mislead into thinking one part is worse than the next simply because there is more "red". And if it really needs to be clear what is going on then a graph of nodal stresses along a clearly visible line on the stress plot will be inlaid into the stress plot. |
