Hello,

I want to calculate the critical bendingmoment for lateral torsional buckling of a beam (I used beam188).
I managed to calculate the eigenvalues with the following. Now I need to multiply the smallest positive eigenvalue with the maximum bendingmoment.
I just started to work with Ansys and would be very grateful for any helpful information!
