Stress Linearization dialog box

Method
Method	Specifies the type of structural model.3DSpecify when the structure is modeled with solid elements such as CHEXA and CPENTA.2D AxisymmetricAppears when the StressLinearization_AxisymmetricStructure early access feature is enabled. For more information, see Enable an early access feature.Specify when the structure is modeled with axisymmetric solid elements such as CQUADX4 and CTRAX3.
Name
Name	Specifies a descriptive name for the stress linearization.
Description
Description	Specifies a brief description of the stress linearization.
Select Results
Load Case	Specifies the subcase from which to obtain the results for the stress linearization calculation.
Iteration	For an iterative solution, specifies the solution step from which to obtain the results for the stress linearization calculation.
Result type	Specifies whether to use elemental or element-nodal stress results in the stress linearization calculation.
Stress Classification Line (SCL)
Query Curve (line)	Specifies an existing query curve as the stress classification line.Note: The stress classification line must be a straight line. Thus, only query curves that are straight lines are selectable.
New Query Curve	Opens the Query Curve dialog box from which you can create a new query curve.
Preview	Displays the endpoints of the selected query curve.
Bending Stress Components
Appears when Method is set to 3D.
XX YY ZZ XY YZ ZX	Specifies the components of stress for which to calculate linearized stresses.
Midsurface Definition
Appears when Method is set to 2D Axisymmetric.
Curvature	Specifies the radius of curvature to the midplane of the structure in the axisymmetric (RZ) plane at the location of the query curve.InfiniteSpecify when the structure is straight.SpecifySpecify when the structure is curved.
Value	Appears when Curvature is set to Specify.Specifies the numerical value for the radius of curvature.
