The same is true for the minimum bending stress.nHowever, I would like to calculate the sum of the stresses around Y and Z, because in one corner of the cross-section there is an constructive addition of these two stresses, which leads to a higher stress than the one indicated in maximum bending stress. I am able to work around this by exporting the bending moments and calculating the stress using the section modulus. Is there a way to do this calculation directly in Mechanical?n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-51866","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-beam","topic-tag-beam-tool","topic-tag-bending"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["24142"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["????"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1433"],"_bbp_subscription":["232135"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["51866"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["185297","185304"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["141204"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["141204"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-02-04 09:06:13"]},"test":"grotstein"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/51866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/51866\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
