How to interpret stress analysis graph

Using Creo 3/Simulate. Modeled a circular flange and am trying to use stress linearization (SL) to evaluate the stresses.
I chose Von Mises stresses. The SL results has two output sections: a text part showing the actual numbers through
the thickness and a graph part also showing thru thickness stresses. Numers for the text part look good. But the graph
is way off. the stresses shown are 20 times higher than the text output. Why is there such a large difference in the two outputs?
How do I get them to agree? See atachment.
