This is not a step-by-step ANSYS tutorial. Rather, it states the problem to be solved and provides some tips and guidance on solving it using ANSYS Mechanical. If you have not yet completed the Cantilever Beam Tutorial, please do so Go through the truss and beam tutorials before attempting this problem.
Consider the plane frame structure in the figure below. All bars have cross-section properties EI = 2.5e7 N-m2 and EA = 2.5e9 N-m2.
Find:
- The deformed shape of the frame
- The location in the frame that undergoes the maximum total deflection
- The maximum shear force and axial force in each span
- The bending moment at each span endpoint
