graphing stress vs location

graphing stress vs location

graphing stress vs location

(OP)
I have a simple canilever beam with a force on one end stretching it and I want to generate a graph of shear stress vs x location.  Is there any easy way to do this?  I have tried creating a table with the nodal x location and nodal shear stress, but I can't find a way to sort the table by location so when I generate the graph it is just lines going all over the place.

Thanks,
Scott

RE: graphing stress vs location

Why do you need this graph? Doesn't a stress contour diagram give you the same information in 3D?

It does, but I was asked to generate this plot, so I was just seeing if there was an easy way to generate it in ansys.
