Hi,
I'm doing a beam analysis using solidwokrs 2010
when I look a the shear moment diagram i have two directions. - dir1 dir2
in dir1 I get resault that appear to be correct but they are perpendicular to the plane they sould be on
in dir2 I get resaults that are about 0 but in a direction in which I would expect to have the reasults of dir1
Thanks,
Gil,
Gil,
SolidWorks has recognized there is a reporting error for the shear stress in a beam analysis. The SPR is 571336. I am not sure but I would assume that this may also be affecting the shear and moment diagram as well.

Thanks
hi
I also noticed the same anomaly display diagram of moment, this stange, they did not correct the problem although it is raised A long-time
HI Gil:
I'm not sure it's a bug, more along the lines of how the writers developed the graphics algorithm and oriented the diagrams with respect to local beam axes. Nevertheless, I agree the diagrams certainly appear in the wrong orientation, and perhaps the developers can improve on that. I wrote this little video on how they do it, so that if you can see the local beam axes, you can work-out the orientation issue. It is on GoEngineer's YouTube channel (SolidWorks Simulation - Beam Shear & Moment Diagrams):

I hope that helps explain at least why the diagrams can be rotated 90 degrees. -Tony
