Hi Nick,

there is no Von Mises Stress output for beams in Karamba. The reason is that the maximum shear stress and normal stress normally occur in different places of a beam cross section: the peak axial normal stress at the outer cross section fibers, the extreme shear stress around the neutral axis.

If you enable the display of utilization in the ModelView-component you will see the ratio of axial stress to yield stress. The cross section design component and the utilization results component however also include shear when calculating the utilization.

Best,

Clemens
