      For Beam188, shear stress output is not directly available in Workbench. But it can be extracted by two approaches; 1) By defining parameters for Radius in DM and for Moment in Mechanical. Then, one can define few more expressions to get Torsional Constant for Circle and Shear Stress. 2) By using User Defined Result and inserting expressions using Twist Angle. Please refer to attachment for more details.
