Hydrostatic pressure for Hyper74 is different from that for Plane183. (Both models use the same neo-Hookean hyperelastic material model, identical mesh, and identical loading.) Other results such as SEQV compare well, however. Why is HPRES different?


The HPRES values reported for Plane183 are approximately equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to those reported for Hyper74. This difference is due to the use of a different sign convention for HPRES in the 18x elements. Please see the 8.0 Theory manual, Eq. 3-96 (the notes following this equation document the convention used for 18x elements). This convention is also noted in the 8.0 Advanced Structural Nonlinearities seminar, on slide 6-95.
