Review the Results

We will now review the axial and bending stresses in the beams.

1. Select Results Contours Stress Beam and Truss Axial Stress. The maximum tensile value is 460 psi. The maximum compressive value is -777 psi.  
   
2. Select  Results Contours Stress Beam and Truss Bending about Axis 2.  The maximum tensile value is 20,284 psi. The maximum compressive value is -27,631 psi.
3. Select  Results Contours Stress Beam and Truss Bending about Axis 3.  The maximum tensile value is 13,861 psi. The maximum compressive value is -9,285 psi.
4. Select  Results Contours Stress Beam and Truss Worst Stress.  This displays the combined axial and bending stresses. The maximum tensile value is 28,091 psi. The maximum compressive value is -15,271 psi. 

This tutorial is now complete. You can continue to the Beam Tower Critical Buckling Analysis tutorial to see if the loads applied in this analysis setup might cause geometric instability of the structure.
