 After completion, click Total Deformation beneath the
Solution item, the deformed model with show on the main
window.
 Click the Direct Stress to show the axial stress results that
occur in beams.
 Double click on Beam Tool item beneath the Solution
item, the Direct Stress, Minimum Combined Stress and
Maximum Combined Stress items will pop-up.
 Click the Minimum Combined Stress to show the
combination of the direct stress and minimum bending
stress results that occur in beams.

 Similarly, click on the Minimum Combined Stress and
Maximum Combined Stress to display these stresses,
respectively, on the two beams as shown in the figures.
