The fourth tab on the GUI displays the results page shown in Figure 8 below.  This page has a single summary table that can display all of the solution results.  The table has two rows for each cylinder: one for the inner surface and out for the outer surface.  The columns along each row display various solution quantities. 
A row of buttons along the bottom of the page is used to select the type of solution quantity to be displayed.  The available solution quantity types include stresses, strains, radial displacements, strain energies, and total strains.
