Why can I not select STRESS options for my solver to run?

      Hello,

      I am a student working on a model entirely composed of beam elements, I wish to obtain results for deformation (which I can get without any problems) and for Stress (equivalent vonmises preferably). I am able to insert a total deformation solution but there are no options for stress displayed, and when I do finally find them they are "greyed" out as if they were not available.

      Why is this happening? Is there any way arround it?
