Local Coordinate System
Bending moment and shear force are reported in the local coordinate system. To determine what the local coordinate system is for each element, highlight Solution in the tree and select Coordinate Systems > Element Triads.
...
Click on Solve and ANSYS will display the local coordinate system for each element. The local x, y and z are shown in red, blue and green (RGB), respectively.
Shear Force
From the local coordinate systems above, we see that we need the shear force in the local y direction. To get the shear in the local y, highlight Solution in the tree and select Beam Results > Shear Force.
...
If you need to get the exact values at particular locations, it is better to make a plot along a "path" rather than use "probe". We show that next.
Bending Moment along Path
Create the path.
(Right click) Model > Insert > Construction Geometry
...
Click Solve. The tabular data (lower right) gives the bending moment values at the beginning and end of the path.
