Dear researchers,

I am currently working on analyzing a beam with a rectangular cross-section, and my objective is to visualize the cumulative strain energy across the entire length of the beam.

To clarify, 'ELSE' represents the magnitude of strain energy for each individual element within the beam. My challenge lies in plotting the total strain energy by summing up the contributions of all the elements.

I have attached a picture of the beam's top surface, and I have defined a specific path for analysis. However, the current plot for 'ELSE' only shows the strain energy for the selected element along this path.

Could you kindly provide guidance on how to effectively sum the strain energy values for all elements along the beam's length?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
