Problem:
Request an option to choose Von Mises criterion or Tresca criteria since ASME B31.4-2012 admits to use both:
Solution:
You may be able to do that today. The default code category "Tensile" generates the results based on Tresca criteria. However, if you change the category for the default Tensile code combination or create a new code combination with category selected as Von mises, you would be able to get your Von mises criteria stresses (with no allowable associated however).
To be able to do the same with the restrained functional category, you may use the Total Stress option on the Result Model Options to get your stress results based on either Von mises or Tresca criteria.
