    Calculating Stress within Beam

    I am looking to calculate normal and shear stresses within an assembly I made using Inventor. I need to calculate stresses based on assumed loadings, and I was not sure how to do that. We learned in school to use shear stress = VQ/It + Tc/J and normal stress = P/A + Mc/I, with correct definition...
