Review the Results

The Results environment shows  eight  load cases in the annotation at the lower-left corner.  These are the three specified frequencies and the five natural frequencies, sorted into ascending order.  For each frequency, you may use the options under Results Options Analysis Specific Response Type to view the In-Phase, Out-of-Phase, or SRSS (square root of the sum of the squares) results.  We now will view the axial stress results.

Select Results Contours Stress Beam and Truss Axial Stress. The model displays the in-phase results of the first frequency where the axial stress varies between approximately +/- 1,351 psi.

Note: The axial and worst stress values are equal, since trusses only support axial loads. That is, there are no bending components.

This tutorial is now complete.
