High RMS Stress error estimate
I am running a multipass analysis set to converge within 5%. I am confused about what exactly the RMS stress error Estimates is tellling me. When I run my analysis I get what looks like a very large stress error.....
RMS Stress Error Estimates:
Load Set Stress Error % of Max Prin Str
---------------- ------------ -----------------
Load-Rear 5.06e+04 65.4% of 7.73e+04
Local Stress Error Estimates:
Load Set &nb sp; Stress Error
max over max over
model selected elements
---------------- ------------ -----------------
Load-Rear 111.4% 0.0%
Yet it also says this:
The analysis converged to within 5% on
edge displacement, element strain energy,
and global RMS stress.
Measure convergance is really tight except Von Mises which is slightly above 10%. What steps can I take to reduce the RMS Stress Error Estimate?
