Solution

Now we are ready to choose what kind of results we would like to see.

Deformation

To add deformation to the solution, first click Solution to add the solution sub menu to menu bar. Now in the solution sub menu click Deformation > Total to add the total deformation to the solution

Normal Stresses

Sigma_xx

To add the normal stress in the x-direction, in the solution sub menu go to Stress > Normal. In the details view window ensure that the Orientation is set to X Axis

Sigma_r

To add the polar stresses, we need to first define a polar coordinate system. In the outline tree, right click Coordinate System > Insert > Coordinate System. This will create a new Cartesian Coordinate System. To make the new coordinate system a polar one, look to the details view and change the Type Parameter from Cartesian to Cylindrical. To define the origin, change the Define By parameter from Geometry to Global Coordinate System. Put the origin coincident with the global coordinate systems origin (x = 0, y = 0). Now that the polar coordinates have been created, lets rename the coordinate system to make it more distinguishable. Right click on the coordinate system you just created, and go to Rename. For simplicity sake, let's just name it "Polar Coordinates".

Now, we can define the radial stress using the new coordinate system. Click Solution > Stress > Normal. This will create "Normal Stress 2", and list its parameters in the details view. We want to change the coordinate system to the polar one we just created; so in the details view window, change the Coordinate System parameter from Global Coordinate System to Polar Coordinates
