Step 6: Results
Total Deformation
First, examine the total deformation by clicking on the Total Deformation button, 
. If you have used only two elements, you should see the output shown below.

Maximum Bending Stress
For this static structural problem, the maximum bending stress is of interest. In order to examine the maximum bending stress first expand the Beam Tool folder,

By default,

ANSYS

averages

the

values

over

the

length

of

the

Using

only

two

this

yields

a

of

for

the

This

is

an

error

created
...
by

the

small

number

of

elements

used.
...
The

minimum
...
value
...
of

bending

stress
...
should
...
be
...
zero
...
because
...
there
...
is
...
no
...
moment
...
where
...
the
...
force
...
is

applied.
...
However,
...
because
...
ANSYS
...
is
...
displaying
...
the
...
maximum
...
bending
...
stress,
...
and
...
we
...
are
...
using
...
such

a

small

number

of

elements,
...
it

will

not

display

the

zero

the

end.
...
Next,

we

will

verify

that

ANSYS

is

calculating

the

correct

If

the

the

then

the
