 In order to do this, the resolution must be chosen to be large enough to fit enough elements into the region of stress concentration. In order to do this, the resolution must be chosen to be large enough to fit enough elements into the region of stress concentration.

 The following example shows a Scan&Solve simulation of a plate with several holes in it.  The **Show Grid** option has been enabled, so that the element distribution can be seen. The following example shows a Scan&Solve simulation of a plate with several holes in it.  The **Show Grid** option has been enabled, so that the element distribution can be seen.

 In general, there must be enough elements in an area to properly capture a stress concentration.  The first image above shows a resolution sufficient to capture the effect of the holes.   In general, there must be enough elements in an area to properly capture a stress concentration.  The first image above shows a resolution sufficient to capture the effect of the holes.
