Von Mises stress plots for frames

Beam Von Mises stress plots are now available in the Simulation Results environment for a frames model.

Previously in QY CAD Simulation, the margin of safety for a structural frame model was based on stresses calculated from Beam Max Combined Stress results (beam tension and beam compression), which can produce negative values.

Now when you solve a linear static study of a structural frame model, the factor of safety plots for beams are based on Von Mises stress, which provides a more accurate result.

Two new Von Mises stress plots are also available.

For more information, see Beam stress component plots.
