# Stress Response

Create a Design Response that measures the maximum centroidal von Mises stress in some region for a set of boundary conditions. The response is derived from the solution of a linear static structural finite element analysis. The best performance is achieved if all loaded regions are assigned to be passive regions.

### Inputs

| Name | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Load case | [Boundary Condition List](../../../../block-documentation/types/boundary-condition) | Load case for the design response. |
| Exclude passive | [Bool](../../../../block-documentation/types/bool) | Option to exclude passive regions. |
| Region | [Region](../../../../block-documentation/types/region) | Region that the design response will be computed in. If not provided, then the response will be calculated for the entire model. |

### Outputs

| Type |
| - |
| [Design Response](../../../../block-documentation/types/design-response) |
