  8. In the PropertyManager:
    1. Under Display, make sure that Component is set to VON: von Mises Stress, and set Units to psi.
    2. Under Plot Step, click Plot bounds across all steps and make sure Maximum is selected.
    3. Under Deformed shape, make sure True scale is selected.
    4. Under Property, click Associate plot with name view orientation, and select *Front from the menu.
