Visualization of sections of beam elements for the post processing

Dear,

I am experiencing difficulties enabling the visualization of displacements, stresses, or strains of the cross sections of beam elements. I would like to ask how I can achieve this visualization in your software. Specifically, I have a few questions:

1. Is it necessary to create a Free Body Diagram (FBD) to visualize these results, or is it possible to obtain this information without creating an FBD?
2. Is there any material, such as guides or tutorials, that I could consult to better understand how to visualize such displacements in beam elements?

In particular, I am interested in visualizing the torsional modes and flexural-torsional coupling modes that may arise from a modal and flutter analysis of these elements.

I would greatly appreciate your support to continue my work effectively.

Thank you for your attention and assistance.

Best regards,

Francesco
