This is not posted as a question, but I just wanted to show that Creo does just as good as ANSYS when plotting stress linearizations, and I like the formatted output better than ANSYS. If you're attempting to determine the Kt value with Creo, you will get good results. The Kt from the FEA was compared to hand calculations and a macro in spreadsheet. All Kt values for all of these methods came out to approximately 1.32
Creo Kt = (8794.7/6658.78) = 1.32
