Reply To: Question about boundary conditions in Ansys Mechanical

Thank you. I actually realized my mistake. It was mainly the fact that the stresses displayed were for normal stresses in x-direction whereas the length of my beam and thus normal stress I am interested in is oriented in Z-direction. The answer I get in that case is around 3.29e8, which is close.

Nevertheless, when you say apply the load over the entire cross-section, do you mean to select the entire cross-section face surface when defining force? Or do you mean applying it over the entire top edge (10mm)?
