Simple frame Analysis- HelpFiles attached

Hi all

Iam working on a
very simple frame analysis. The model and the load constrains are shown In the
attached files.

Iam looking for the following results

1.
Maximum Beam deflection and stress ( to figure out if they are within
permissible limits)

2.
How much the column gets deflected ? and has it
buckled?

I have just started using Pro/Mechanica and seek help on
these from anybody here. I have run simulations individually (static and buckling) on beams and columns and I would
look for the following results

1.
Maximum Stresses and deflections in case of
beams

2.
BLF in columns
( I would multiply the BLF with the applied load to figure out the
permissible load the column can carry)

In tis case of a frame

1.
How do I figure out the beam deflection and stress

2.
How do I figure out if my column has not
buckled? Because my point of application of load in this case is not directly
axial on the column

Hope I have explained my situation.
Any help would be immensely appreciated. I have tried to do the frame both as idealizations and in 3D
