In this exercise, you are presented with the numerical solution to the above problem obtained from finite-element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS software.  Compare the FEA results presented to you with the corresponding analytical solution. Justify agreements and discrepancies between the two approaches (FEA vs. Analytical).

Note that you will be using the ANSYS solution presented to you to explore the physics of the problem. You will not be obtaining downloading the FEA solution using ANSYS;there are other tutorials to help you learn thisANSYS solution prepared for you. The objective is to help you learn important fundamentals of mechanics through the interactive, visual interface provided by ANSYS. You will not be obtaining the FEA solution using ANSYS; there are other tutorials to help you learn this.
