Visualization of Stress distribution in 1D Beam Elements

Visualization of Stress distribution in 1D Beam Elements

(OP)
I combed through the internet for an answer and was not able to get one.

Is Patran Post-processor capable of visualizing various stress distribution due to bending along a Beam C/S? Like for example, display internal axial stress distribution through the Cross-Section of a beam? And displaying the shear stress distribution along the thickness? Some of the similar competing software packages can display the same. In similar vein, I think Patran can display Shear and Bending Moment value distributions along the span of the beam but it is limited to CBAR elements (if I am correct). This feature is not expanded to CBEAM element. I hope the newer editions have those capabilities.
