As can be seen in Figure 4, the highest stress is in the radial beam Frame Label 552, and it is
389.13 N/mm2. However, that value is at the end of the profile, location 0mm, and does not
take into account the increase in section modulus at the intersection with the other profile.
As a consequence, a mathematical verification has been employed and the results were
satisfactory. If it is to consider the exact stress value that this beam is subjected, at location
150mm from the end, the stress is in within limits, as can be seen in Figure 5 and Figure 6.
