I ran a simulation but my results don't show up as expected

Issue:

I ran a simulation, but my results for the Von Mises stress don't register on the part, it shows solid purple. Changing the Boundary Conditions gives me the same result.

Cause:

This can occur due to the upper bounds of the Stress HUD being too high for the stress experienced by the part.

Solution:

Edit the values in the HUD to show the results on your part.

The Heads Up Display that appears after running a simulation in nTop. The image highlights the editable top and bottom values of the display range. These values can be changed to better show the simulation results.
