The ANSYS results will be verified by comparing them to the results obtained using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory in the pre-analysis.
The ANSYS simulation outputed 4.6352MPa which is very close to the results from the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Thus, the maximum bending stress for the maximum bending stress and the calculation in the pre-analysis yielded 4.635 MPa. The ANSYS simulation outputted 0.0051352m for the total deformation of the beam at x=4 while the calculation from the pre-analysis yielded 0.005103m. The ANSYS results very closely match the calculations from the pre-analysis, thus the simulation has been verified.
