Hi Comsol Community,

i had a question to a structural mechanic simulation of a beam. I have a beam, which is fixed on the one side and has a boundary load at the other end. The load is 100N in the negative z-direction. Now i have simulated it and wanted to know the strain of the beam. I have plot the first principal strain and a arrow volume. But actually one side of the beam should be strained and the other compressed. I don't get any negative values in the color bar (compression). How do i get the compression?
A picture is attached.
