how to get the ultimate load for concrete beam in ansys?

[RJcivileng]

hi,
I made a model for concrete beam , and apply the load as load steps, and then I made static non-linear analysis , but.....how con i define the critical or the ultimate load that the concrete beam can stand before collapse and how can I now the results for each load step? how can I draw the (load - deflection)curve for the beam???
thanks.

to draw, use 'chart and table' :

'Selecting the Chart and Table icon button allows you to create charts of loads and/or results against time. In addition you can also chart result quantities against a load or another results quantity.'
