Question

I would like to calculate the results, such as ordinates, static moments, and stresses, at a specific location of a cross-section. What should I do?


Answer:

If you want to display the results at a specific location of the cross-section, it is necessary to divide the element at this location.

To divide the element, right-click it and select the "Divide Element" option in the shortcut menu (Image 01).

For example, if you want to determine the stress at a distance s = 32.5 mm from the start of Element 1, you have to divide Element 1 at this point. This is also shown in the video.
