D. Stress performance and deformation
1. Result Grill with material GC-40:

Pressure=2.668 MPa
99.939 (SMX) = 100 MPa (Yield stress)
General Postproc->Plot Results->Contour Plot->Nodal Solu->Nodal Solution>Stress->
von Mises stress-> Deformed shape with undeformed model + Auto Calculated

2. Result of Drain Grill with material ST 304

Pressure=5.739 MPa
214.973 (SMX) = 215 MPa (Yield stress)
General Postproc->Plot Results->Contour Plot->Nodal Solu->Nodal Solution>Stress->
von Mises stress-> Deformed shape with undeformed model + Auto Calculated
