Two different maximum equivalent stress shown for one result. Why?

      This is a fluid / structure interaction analysis for an hydrostatic test performed on a distillation tower.   IMAGE 1 shows the maximum equivalent stress of my model.  It appears immediately when I solve my results and it says: 35.812 psig. IMAGE 2 shows maximum equivalent stress of 28.384 psig on a different zone of my model after adding the contour variable.   Why am I having two different values for the same model?   Thanks.

      Hello Carlosponte

      The Results preview shown immediately after solving is of lower fidelity and hence it can be a little different to the result shown after solving for a specific variable. This explained in more detail in the Help Document.
