Axial Stress

hey,

in model view you can check 'N' in subsection 'results' to graphically display the normal forces.

also, you can use all the components in tab 'results' to further examine the analyzed model. depending on the license, there are different levels of sophistication on this.

in the free version, there is a component for the resultant member forces, where the axial normal force in each member is given as a list of numbers for each load case.

an axial stress is more difficult to determine, since the actual stress distribution in a cross section under bending action varies ... so far there is only the maximum 'von mises' comparative resultant stress state calculated for each member, in different resolution along the element length again depending on the license of karamba.

best

Robert, 

I am wondering to ask you how to find the maximum 'von mises' resultant stress in each member? Where can I find that?

Thanks
