Define the critical section on the beam (Note that the critical section is the one
that has the maximum bending moment).
1/3
Compare (by calculating the diff. %) the calculated bending stresses with the
max. and min. values shown in the bending stress diagram in steps (9 and 10).

Notes:
1. A tutorial on a similar beam element is already uploaded on Canvas; you can use it
to help you.
2. Form a group of 4 to 5 student to work on one lab report.
3. The last names of the group members should be shown on the screenshots obtained
from the SolidWorks screen. You can add the names when defining a stress (or any
other) plot using Property Include title text, as shown.
