It is imperative to do some checks to make sure that the numerical results are accurate. Numerical results can either be compared directly to empirical data or they may be compared to theory.
The ANSYS results will be verified by comparing them to the results obtained using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory in the pre-analysis.
The ANSYS simulation outputed 4.6352MPa which is very close to the results from the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Thus, the maximum bending stress has been verified.
