Mode shape result

Using this result

The eigenvalue associated with the buckling mode is displayed in the legend at the top right of the plot. The eigenvalue represents the factor by which the applied load, in the case of Stress analysis, or the internal loads in the case of Warp analysis, must be multiplied in order to induce buckling. If this eigenvalue is less than one the part will buckle with less than 100% of the applied load.
