3D Visualizations

Mesh Structure

The Simple Beam model consists of 5,179 nodes connected by 4,866 CQUAD4 shell elements, creating a detailed 3D representation of the beam geometry.

Displacement Field

Left: Original mesh Right: Deformed mesh (10× displacement scale)

The displacement field shows the beam's deformation under load, with maximum displacement of 19.56 mm. Colors represent displacement magnitude, with red indicating maximum deformation.

Stress Field

The von Mises stress distribution shows stress concentrations throughout the beam structure. Colors range from blue (low stress) to red (high stress), revealing critical stress regions.
