The designed LabView application calculates and displays the stress in a steel bar with two simple supports on each side, the bar itself having two different dimensions. Using 2 main equations for deformation and stress, the VI calculates how the bars will behave under temperature changes. The program uses a formula node to do most of the exercise, then using string functions displays the resulting sigmas (stresses) in an easy-to-read format on the front panel. The program also has a slider to choose the unit of measurement between Pa and MPa, using case functions to change between them.
