This is output by the keyword *DATABASE_ELOUT and will include the beam elements specified on *DATABASE_HISTORY_BEAM.   The stresses and axial strain of integrated beams are also written in d3plot when BEAMIP>0 on *DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY. These can be fringed be loading d3plot in LS-PrePost and selecting: FEA> Post> Fringe Component> Beam. From the from the drop-down menu at the bottom left of the Fringe Component window the user can select to fringe the maximum, minimum, average (&#8220;Ave&#8221;) stress and strain among the beam integration points, or the stress and strain at each integration point by selecting &#8220;BPt\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
