In the above, pay close attention to maximum and minimum values of the bending moment. At the left end, the bending moment is 32000 Nm; the calculation for moment is

So this checks out. We also notice that the minimum moment 1.1278E-10 Nm. Because this value is over 1E-14 smaller that the largest value, it can be assumed to be zero to machine precision.
