    Question Pipe- extrude or revolve

    I am simulating a pipe. I have made two identical pipes using extrude and the other one using revolve.
    But Inventor is giving me different results on the stress analysis. why is that? which one will I choose?
    Regards

    Post the files here.
    How much is the difference in the results.
    Different methods of creation will cause the mesh routine to mesh the part differently - but if meshed correctly any difference in results should be statistically insignificant.

    For axial deflection
    Revolve: 0.08709mm
    Extrude: 0.08698mm

    Are there any points I should remember to attain a correct mesh?

    I haven't even opened the files yet, but you should realize that those two numbes are essentially identical.
