General Postproc > Plot Results > Contour Plot > Nodal Solution
Then, select DOF Solution—USUM in the window.
Alternatively, obtain these results as a list:
General Postproc > List Results > Nodal Solution...
Are these results what you expected? Note that all translational
degrees of freedom were constrained to zero at the bolt holes.
14. Stresses:
General Postproc > Plot Results > Nodal Solution...
Then, select von Mises Stress in the window.

You can list the von Mises stresses to verify the results at certain
nodes:
General Postproc > List Results. Select Stress, Principals SPRIN
15. Quitting ANSYS
To quit ANSYS, click QUIT on the ANSYS toolbar or select:
Utility Menu > File > Exit...
In the window that appears, select Save Everything (assuming that
you want to) and then click OK.

In this tutorial, the stress analysis of a bicycle wrench is presented. The
problem to be found is the von Mises stresses for the bicycle wrench
shown under the given distributed and boundary condition.
