3D Signpost: Numerical Results

Here is The below images demonstrate how to plot the normal stress in the axial direction. stresses XX,YY,ZZ and shear stresses XY,YZ,XZ.  

Right-click on Solution >Insert>Stress>Normal for normal stresses and Solution >Insert>Stress>Shear for shear stresses.  

Change the Orientation tab to alter the stress direction.

Finally solution, mouse over insert, then stress and select normal. Change the orientation to the z-axis because this is the direction of axial stress for our beam. And finally, click on the solve Solve button.  Your result should be very similar to the following figure.  Notice the bent shape of our beam. This is exactly what we expect from our boundary conditionsfigures.
