Display Stresses in Cross-section

Depending on the existing loading, you can display various results on the cross-section. Use the selection options in the menu bar for this.

Unit stresses

For the unit stresses, the designation FEM stands for a result from a finite element analysis, while Simplex stands for a cross-section calculation according to the Simplex method. The results are displayed directly on the cross-section as color gradients.

Graphic printout

With the options of the list button , you can directly print the current graphic, save it as a PDF, or transfer it to the printout report. The details to be displayed can also be defined in the print preview.
