Plane Frame

Problem Specification

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. Go through truss through the truss and beam tutorials before attempting this problem. 

...

• 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
