Compare the FEA predictions for maximum transverse deflection using the original model and plane stress and plane strain assumptions to FEA predictions using one-dimensional beam elements incorporating an offset neutral axis. What do you conclude?

Exercise 4:

Repeat the tutorial for a beam with cross section 3inches by 3 inches. How do FEA predictions using one-, two-, and three-dimensional models now compare with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory?
