Hey guys, 
I'm havigng trouble with the shear stress results on this cantilevered beam load simulation. It has a 20N load on the end of the beam in the +y direction, and is fixed on the other end. I feel like I should be getting shear stresses that are much higher than I am getting currently, and I also feel like the shear stress should be concentrated more away from the centerline of the top top and bottom faces. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you

Hi Ryan,
I would suggest to have more than one element throught the thickness, so try to use sizing methode in the meshing to generate mesh.
