Specify a stress recovery point

Stress recovery points for standard cross sections are displayed in the Beam Section dialog box. Stress recovery points for user-defined beam sections are assigned when you define the beam section.

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. In the Shell And Beam Location group, select a recovery point from the Beam list. You can also select Minimum or Maximum to choose the minimum or maximum value for all stress recovery points.If you calculate beam stresses from element forces, Minimum and Maximum return the minimum and maximum stresses for the complete section, regardless of recovery points.

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