Difference in SimSolid vs Optistruct result

Hi expert,

I am using Simsolid 2023 and Optistruct 2022 to perform a simple structural analysis.
While using Optistruct for as a solver, I have a tried a same problem with Simsolid but simsolid gives different results in stress plots.

Example problem:

For an instance I have tried a Simple Cantilever Beam with a point load problem in both Optistruct and Simsolid.

The Boundary Conditions and results are displayed in below image 

The Developed Stress on the cases are different. Can you please guide as to take decision like which simulation is correct.
Can you please explain the reason for this difference.
