Error in Definition of Result Beam and Missing Results

The definition of a result beam does not seem to be correct. There is no integration area and no results are displayed. What can be the reason for this?


Answer:

If you use the "Within cuboid - general" integration option, the reason may be incorrectly defined parameters for the application area. The application lengths must be entered as an amount. This is especially important in the negative direction: If you enter the application length as a negative value, this value is subtracted from the positive direction.

Example: You want to define an integration area of 1 m for the result beam. For the "Within cuboid – quadratic" option, simply enter an application length of 1 m. In the case of the "Within cuboid – general" option, you have to enter a length of 0.5 m as the amount in both the positive and the negative directions. These lengths are added together and you get a total application area of 1 m.
