I am doing a relatively simple static simulation with 4 batteries on a sheet metal tray. The results seemed within expectations and he FOS distribution seemed correct. But, when I did separate result to show areas under a certain FOS, I did not get results that matched the FOS distribution.
The area in question is on the side flanges. In the FOS distribution, the area is blue (FOS ~100), but in the FOS-specific, the area is red. Red is only supposed to show the areas under the specified FOS, so it makes it a bit confusing. In this particular study, the minimum FOS in the distribution is 2.23. To prove the issue, I tried a result to display FOS under 2 (sould be a solid blue tray), but the area on the side flanges is still red.
Attached are screen caps to illustrate. Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,
John
