Do these values look plausible? We'll investigate this in Step 9 when we compare the center and edge stress values to plate theory.

The σ_xx values for the stiffeners in the y-direction is virtually zero; confirm this using Query Results. This means that, as expected, the load in the x-direction is carried by the stiffeners in that direction.
Let's determine σ_xx values at the top of the x-stiffener closest to the center; we'll compare these values to plate theory in Step 9. Using Query Results, I get the following values at the top of this stiffener (see snapshot above):

...

The σ_yy values for the stiffeners in the x-direction is virtually zero; confirm this using Query Results. This means that, as expected, the load in the y-direction is carried by the stiffeners in that direction.
Let's determine σ_yy values at the top of the y-stiffener closest to the center which we'll compare to plate theory in Step 9. Using Query Results, I get the following values at the top of the stiffener (see snapshot above):
