That is exactly what Ansys results show, i think sigma y could be disregarded from my answer as it does not contribute to deflection, thanks for the help.
Ps it would have been nice to work it out,just out of curiosity

yes excuse the spelling mistake, i am looking for the maximum stress in y direction at any point in the beam,i believe the maximum bending stress (sigma x)occurs on the top surface of the beam(positive) at the restraint, this is also where ansys says it occurs, it also says this is where sigma y...
Sorry to clarify it is a solid square section and since then i have discovered that sigma (X) is indeed calculated using
Sigma (x)= MC/I
Using this result in a excell spreadsheet gives a 1% difference from the actual stress and theoretical stress given by ansys using a 4 by 40 node...
Hi all,
I have a problem with cantalever beams, the beam is 1m long by 0.1m by 0.1m. A 10Kn force placed at the end of the beam deflecting it down. My lecturer simmulated the problem in Ansys and we all got to do it with him using more dense nodes and solutions to find a more refined answer...
