After running the simulation, we should get these results:

h2. Total Deformation:


h2. !results1.jpg|border=1,height=300!

The total deformation is greatest at the top of the truss, and has a magnitude of 0.28 mm.

h2. Equivalent Stress

!stress.jpg|border=1,width=300!

The greatest stress occurs in the Flexure mounts, and has a magnitude of 30MPa.


h2. Directional Deformation


h2.  !directionaldeformation.jpg|border=1,width=300!

The Directional deformation is shown to range from \-.04mm to \+.04mm.

h2. Joint Probes


h2. !jointproberesult.jpg|border=1,width=300!

Each joint probe shows the magnitude and direction of the force at each probe.  The results show that there's a range from 200 N to a whopping 1500N. Fortunately, the 1500N force is in the center, and the flexure mount forces have a value around 400N.
