Let's consider that Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is reasonable for this problem. Computing predictions for the axial bending stresses at the extreme fibers at the beam mid-span using this theory and comparing with the experimental results:
Launch ANSYS Workbench and start a "Static Structural" analysis in the project page as shown in the video below. Note that this video comes from a different tutorial but the process is the same.
