The invention relates to a method for transferring a stress state of an FE 
simulation result to a new FE 
mesh geometry of a simulated construction 
system, such as a component for motor vehicles that has a 3-D shape, in a 
simulation chain of production operations, comprising: a) providing a first 
data set, which describes the FE 
simulation result with a stress state of the FE simulation of the construction 
system or component of a first production operation, b) creating the new FE 
mesh geometry of the simulated construction 
system or component, which new FE 
mesh geometry is associated with a second production operation, c) transferring the stress state of the provided first 
data set to the new FE mesh geometry of the construction system or component, d) performing an equilibrium calculation by using the stress 
tensor in the FE mesh geometry, wherein deformation of the construction system or component results, which deformation differs from the deformation in the FE mesh by a shape alteration u>tolerance value ε, e) iteratively repeating the equilibrium calculation as a cyclic equilibrium iteration in the new FE mesh geometry (in the new target FE mesh) of the construction system or component, wherein, in each cycle, a new stress state is applied to the FE mesh geometry of the construction system or component and stress components that lead to undesired shape alterations are decreased until a displacement / termination criterion of shape alteration u<tolerance value ε is achieved, and f) displaying the fulfilled condition of u<ε.
