The longitudinal stress is defined as the stress caused by both axial and bending deformations. For a linear elastic, material this is simply the sum of the axial and bending stress. The longitudinal stress is an available output for all nonlinear materials where the stress is defined as function of strain (nonlinear rigid materials). The calculation takes into account the longitudinal strain and the selected material model. The longitudinal stress is available at eight locations around the circumference, but not as a maximum value.
