How to extract angle of twist and shear stress due to torque in Workbench

Submitted by Echeban on

I set up this model of a shaft with to opposing torque simulating a shaft and pulley system. 

The supports and loads are shown here: Ex-3-9-LoadsAndSupports.png

Note that the origin (top left) has the rotation X constrained to eliminate rigid body motion and to set a reference of zero twist at that point. 

I requested every result that I can imagine, see the Outline here: Ex-3-9-Outline2.png

The torque is shown here: Ex-3-9-TorsionalMoment.png

where you can also see that the renderer understands there is a twist and gives the rendering a twist and an increase in diameter to represent the increasing torque. 

But where can I get numerical values for angle of twist, and shear stress?
