Calculate beam stresses from element forces and geometry

1. Create a post view showing contours on beam results, if necessary.

2. In the Post Processing Navigator, right-click the post view and choose Set Result.

3. Select Stress – Element-nodal or Strain – Element-nodal results.

4. Select the Calculate Beam Results from Forces and Beam Geometry check box.

5. (Optional) Select the Add Fillets check box and specify a Fillet Radius Scale Factor to include fillets on the interior corners of your beam sections.Include fillets to avoid artificially high stresses at sharp corners. The scale factor is multiplied by the beam wall thickness to determine the fillet radius. Specify a value between 0 and 1.

6. Click OK, or click Apply and continue to refine your results display.
