The rectangle is under uniaxial tension with a load of 75 MPa; therefore, we expect the stress throughout the entire rectangle to be 75 MPa.

From redAnTS

Looking back to your results from redAnTS, we find that the program also found that the stress throughout the entire rectangle was 75 MPa, which means we can have some trust in our results.

While for this simulation it may seem trivial to check that the redAnTS output matches our expections, for more complex problems it becomes absolutely critical to verify your results. As you gain more experience with FEA simulations, you will be able to tell if a complex simulation may not "seem" right. This intuition can save you a great deal of frustration dealing with incorrect results.
