Anyone here has experence with Sofistik? Very powerful structural analysis and design software.

In the Wingraf manual from p3-142 to p3-143, it supports the following stress output for beam element
[b said:
Design stress of material[/b], such as SIGD Compression stress, SIGZ Tensile stress, STAU Shear stress, SIGV v.Mieses stress, SPC Principal compression stress, SPT Principal tensile stress]
and
[b said:
Design stress of stress point (SPT)[/b], such as
SDPT Compression stress, SZPT Tensile stress, STPT Shear stress, SVPT v.Mieses stress, SPCP Principal compression stress, SPTP Principal tensile stress]

I made a simple cantilever beam in glabal X direction, and apply unit point force at its free end in the PG direction. I have several questions about these stresses and how to plot them on the model
[ol 1]
[li]What’s the difference between Design stress of material and Design stress of stress point (SPT)?[/li]
[li]I run the AQB, and wingraf with stress output, the GUI does show the stress as below

but there is no stress plot in the wingraf, it show several warnings about stress output
