Moment Probe to Get Bending Moment Diagram

  Hello everyone,
  
  I am trying to extract the moments from a pin that is being subject to force through contact from two plates. I want to determine the bending moment along the pin in order to draw a bending moment diagram along the pin. I would also like to draw a shear force diagram. I have tried using the moment probe tool, but it does not give the results I would expect.
  
  Thanks.

  You haven't shows where the pin is supported. Is it at the ends or the center?

  Supported at the ends.

  Bending Moment in Beam Results is for use on Beam elements meshed on a line body edge. You have a solid model.
  
  Why not draw the Bending Moment and Shear Force diagrams by hand?
  
  What will you do with the Bending Moment Diagram Diagram?
