Graphing Principal Stress at a Vertex

You graph the first principal stresses at a selected location of the chip for all design scenarios.

  1. In the left frame of the Design Study tab, right-click the Results and Graphs folder and select Define Design History Graph.
  2. In the PropertyManager, under Y-Axis, select Constraint.
  3. Select Stress2 for Constraint.
  4. Under Extra Location, select Workflow Sensitive 1 and select (4) Vertex of chip-4 from the selection box.
  5. Click .
    The red curve in the graph shows the variation of the maximum value of first principal stress (Stress 2) in psi with the scenario number. The blue curve in the graph shows the variation of first principal stress in psi at the selected vertex with the scenario number


  6. Close the graph window.
    Similarly, you can graph the other principal stress components for the same location.
