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.
If you have chosen to use 10 elements for your mesh, you should see the following output for the total deformation.
The beam deformation can be animated by clicking on the play button, 
, which is located underneath the beam deformation results.
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, 
, which is located under "Solution(A6)". Next, click on the Maximum Bending Stress button, 
. If you have used only two elements, you should obtain the following output.
If you have used ten elements for your mesh, you should get the output below.
