Node Size (mm) | Max Stress (MPa) | Location |
|---|---|---|
20 | 194.5 |    |
15 | 192.4 MPa |   |
10 | 192.5 MPa |  |
5 | 193.2 MPa |  |

Loading Case 4: Stress increases as mesh is refined to a 5mm global size, but decreases once local mesh refinement is applied. Max stress is still not concerning though. Lowest safety factor: 1.3.
Loading Case 5: Results are converging. Stress increases as the mesh is refined. Max stress not concerning. Lowest safety factor: 12.35.
