Issues finding shear stress in a rectangular tube beam

      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. 

      Best Regards,
      Sampat
