Beam My Diagrams for 4x4 Timber Frame.

[Anonymous]

When I input the columns and beams I looked around Roboto to see if there was any place to select steel connectors for the beams but I didn't really come across anything yet to go on about that. The diagram comparing Max My to My with a -1kin dead load looks a bit odd to me compared to the ones in http://www.engineeringwiki.org/wiki/Beam_Analysis. In the screenshot the diagrams is arch shaped and becomes very small close to the columns and then goes back up again. I'm not sure what to make out this yet or how to interpret this:

Thank You!

Hi @Anonymous

The green diagram stands for maximal values of stress due to bending so it decreases in the location of zero bending and increases again when it changes the sign.
