It is important before using a tool such as redAnTS to obtain some information about the solution; otherwise, you risk obtaining an incorrect solution with no basis for comparision. In this example, we know that since the block is in uniaxial tension, it should have a homogeneous state of stress and strain i.e. the stress and strain at every point in the block is identical. Yup, couldn't get simpler than that! The principal stress σ₁₁= 75 MPa. Later, we will compare this value against the output of redAnTS to make sure we modeled the problem correctly.

Start redAnTS in MATLAB

Locate the redAnTS_Toolbox folder. If you are unable to locate the folder, search for it. Within this folder, there should be a folder called InputOutputFiles. The InputOutputFiles folder will be your working folder where your files from the tutorial session will be saved. Note the path to this folder so that you will be able to browse to it from MATLAB.
