Stress/Strain Visualization
Red, green, & blue color channels for each beam represent stress and strain.
Red - decreasing red indicates increasing tensile stress, on an arbitrary linear scale. (often cyan or green)
Green - decreasing green indicates increasing compressive stress, on an arbitrary linear scale. (often magenta or red)
Blue - decreasing blue indicates more strain, as a percentage of the yield strain of the beam (affects stress colors, may appear yellow in some cases)
